SSDI beneficiaries to receive a 3.6% COLA increase in 2027

The Social Security Administration has announced a 3.6% COLA increase for 2027. Individuals receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits will see a 3.6% bump in their monthly payments starting in January.

Larger than the 2026 COLA of 2.8%, this increase is intended to help SSDI recipients with rising costs across the board – groceries, utilities and gas. With this 3.6% adjustment, the average monthly benefit is anticipated to be about $1,701 in 2027 or a $59 per month increase over the 2026 monthly average of $1,642.
