The summary is that if current trends continue thru Sept the SSA COLA will be about 3.5%. I think I heard a news report last week that inflation had stalled this month so maybe a bit less. Still looking like 3%+.
This is so exciting to me. Having retired from federal service in 2009, I have never had a COLA. If it's 3.5%, then we FERS retirees should get a 2.5% COLA. That would be awesome.
