The Social Security Administration announced a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2026. On paper, that sounds like progress. But for many retirees, rising Medicare premiums and everyday expenses may quietly erase most, if not all, of that increase.
In this video, Hunter Brockway breaks down what the 2026 Social Security COLA really means, why it often fails to keep pace with retirees’ actual costs, and what you can do to protect your purchasing power over time.
If this video gets you thinking about how Social Security fits into your broader retirement plan, our Comprehensive Retirement Workbook can help you step back and look at the full picture, including income planning, taxes, healthcare costs, and long-term strategy.
And if you’d like help reviewing your workbook or talking through your situation, feel free to reach out. No cost, no obligation, no pressure.
