政府停业推迟了2026年的社会保障COLA公告,但付款依然不受影响。 A government shutdown delays the 2026 Social Security COLA announcement, but payments continue unaffected.

政府停业推迟了宣布2026年社会保障生活费调整(COLA)的工作,该调整是根据劳动统计局第三季度通货膨胀数据作出的。 A government shutdown is delaying the announcement of the 2026 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), which is based on third-quarter inflation data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. 预测显示增加2.6%至2.7%, 在平均受益人支票上每月增加约54美元。 Projections suggest a 2.6% to 2.7% increase, adding about $54 monthly to the average beneficiary’s check. 虽然由于BLS和SSA工作人员被解职,COLA的宣布可能会推迟,但社会保障和SSI的付款将继续作为强制性支出不间断地持续支付。 While the COLA announcement may be postponed due to furloughed BLS and SSA staff, Social Security and SSI payments will continue uninterrupted as mandatory spending. 医疗保险卡更换和津贴核查等非必要服务暂停。 Non-essential services like Medicare card replacements and benefit verifications are paused. 一旦获得数据并恢复运作,最后的COLA将予以公布。 The final COLA will be released once data becomes available and operations resume.
