The trustees who oversee Social Security and Medicare have announced their projections for the 2018 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (Cola) and Medicare Part B Premium.  At this point they are projecting a 2.2% increase in the Social Security Cola.  They are also projecting no increase to the current $134/month Part B Premium.  (High income earners pay more and some people who already had Part B pay less.)

This is good news for seniors especially compared to the last few years with little to no Social Security Cola increases.  I will update this topic when the final amounts are announced. this fall.
