Not at all. Many if not most wage earners get no cost of living adjustment. Those who do get significantly less than 100% of the cost of living - keep this in mind the next time you hear that wage increases cause inflation!

What is the Social Security cost of living adjustment in 2010?

There was no cost of living adjustment (COLA) in 2010 or 2011; benefits will continue being paid at the same rate as in 2009.


Will there be an increase in Social Security benefits in the next two years?

There's no way to predict whether there will be an increase in Social Security benefits over the next two years. We already know 2011 checks will be paid at the same rate as in 2009, when the SSA issued a 5.8% increase. This is the first time since 1975 that rates have remained unchanged two consecutive years, so there's a good chance there will be some type of cost of living adjustment (COLA) in 2012, but this is far from a safe bet.

What does it mean when you say Cost of Living?

The cost of living is the sum total of all the costs necessary to live. If you are on your own you would have to consider rent, utilities, car payment, fuel, insurance, food and so on. Once you total all of those things you know your personal cost of living. The government takes an average all across the country and compares records from one year to the next to determine if cost of living has gone up or down or stayed the same.
