    CURRENT ESTIMATE OF 2022 COLA EVEN HIGHER

    The Senior Citizens League estimated earlier this year the Cost of Living Adjustment for Social Security benefits would rise 5.3% for 2022.  That estimate has now jumped to 6.2%.

    The COLA is determined each year by the rise in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) through the third quarter of the prior year.

    The estimated hike would be the highest since the 7.4% increase in 1983.
