Upcoming Social Security Changes for Boomers in 2027
Three significant changes to Social Security are expected to take effect in 2027, impacting millions of Americans. These changes include a large inflation adjustment, higher earnings limits, and an increase in the maximum taxable earnings. The inflation adjustment is anticipated to be around 3.8%, reflecting the ongoing rise in the cost of living. The earnings limits for those under the normal retirement age are expected to increase, allowing for more income without penalty. Additionally, the maximum taxable earnings threshold is projected to rise, affecting payroll taxes for higher earners.
