Social Security Recipients Urged to Review 2027 Benefits by November 18

SSA confirmed a 3.6% 2027 COLA. November 18 is for online access to benefit notices, not a deadline to receive the increase; beneficiaries should verify notices directly with SSA and review benefits and earnings records through my Social Security. Spousal benefits do not earn delayed retirement credits after full retirement age, so claimants should confirm timing and eligibility with SSA.
