The On-going CPI-W vs. CPI-E question: What happened this year?
CPI-W vs. CPI-E: Which produces the better Social Security cost-of-living adjustment for seniors is a long-running argument and a favorite among sources advocating a change to the process. For the 2027 COLA, however, this argument saw a bit of a setback, with the experimental CPI-E measure falling slightly short of the traditional CPI-W measure.
The Motley Fool’s Trevor Jennewine discusses this somewhat rare occurrence and its implications for seniors in a post on their website, which you can access here.
