With inflation rising only 0.1 percent in August, and only one month left in the fiscal year, it's pretty much final that retirees won't see any COLA for 2011.

August CPI Released
The Bureau of Labor Statistics announced the August CPI-W of 214.205 which is a .1 percent increase from the July value of 213.898
The August value of 214.205 is now down 0.6% from the 2008 COLA Base of 215.5. The 2008 COLA base will be used to calculate the 2010 COLA since there was no 2009 COLA as a result of negative inflation from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009.
