If the AARP’s projection holds, the cost-of-living adjustment would be the largest since 2023.

DOJ asks Supreme Court to link Social Security to citizenship enforcement as AARP posts biggest raise since 2023.
“They found the seventy million people this raise is going to at the exact same time they found a reason to call the whole program fake — funny how the timing works out. Nobody explains why a fund healthy enough to hand out its biggest bump since 2023 also needs to be dismantled as fraud, because there's no honest answer, just a database that wants your number for something else. Your grandmother's check isn't the con here — the guys calling it a con are.”
“Look, nobody in this administration is touching your mother's check — the SAVE database is strictly a citizenship-verification tool, completely separate purpose from the benefit formula. It just happens to run on the same Social Security numbers, but that's — okay, I hear how that sounds. And the "fraud" comment, that was one executive at one AI company speaking for himself, who — fine, he did work in this White House, but he doesn't set entitlement policy, he sets — I need to check what he sets. Next question.”
