Boosting Benefits and COLAs for Seniors Act
April 17, 2024
Summary
H.R. 8044 would require the Social Security Administration to use the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) when calculating cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for Social Security benefits under titles II, VIII, and XVI, instead of the current CPI-W. If enacted, this change would take effect for COLAs determined on or after September 30, 2024, potentially resulting in larger benefit increases for seniors.
