This index tracks how much everyday items cost compared to the same period the previous year. What a 3% COLA Increase Means for Your Monthly Check Let's break down the real dollars and cents. Currently, the average Social Security retirement benefit is approximately $1,907 per month. Here's how different COLA percentages would affect your monthly payments: Current Monthly Benefit 3% COLA I...
