adjustment

The Social Security Administration needs inflation data to set its annual cost-of-living adjustment.

“The GI Bill,” as Mr. Nasaw writes, “was designed, in large part, to bind the veterans’ wounds and ease their adjustment to civilian life.”

The Social Security cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is required to be published by Nov. 1.

In your case, you would have already seen adjustments for previous years after Full Retirement Age.

Some furloughed government workers will return to work to produce a key inflation report for September, allowing for the calculation of Social Security’s cost-of-living adjustment, according to reports.
