What is the COLA - Cost of Living Adjustment?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) updates the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) every fiscal year. The CPI measures the average change in prices of goods and services to preceding years and is used by SSA to determine the annual COLA.

On December 1, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) changes the monthly payments for veterans to match the new cost of living. Most of the time, this means that veterans’ benefits go up every year.

In 2021 the COLA was particularly small at 1.3%, mainly due the huge economic impact of COVID-19. In 2022 the COLA was larger at 5.6% and in 2023 the largest COLA in a very long time was assessed at 8.7%.

After numerous calls to other attorney's this law firm was the only one to take my son's ssi case. We spoke on the phone and she made me feel better and also listened to me and helped me a lot. Regardless of what the outcome is I would recommend this law firm. They seem genuine and so far I'm very impressed. Thank you so much!

I couldn't ask for a better experience! The case workers and lawyer all made this process so less stressful. My questions were always answered. Lunn & Forro were always on top of everything and were quick to file, appeal and anything else SSA needed. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer and team working for me and believing in me.
