Why Arizona retirees could get a financial boost from low inflation. What to know

Arizona retirees might receive a financial boost if current low inflation trends continue. The inflation rate in the Phoenix area is below the projected cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) from the Social Security Administration. This adjustment affects various benefits, including those for retirees. Experts project that the preliminary COLA set for January could closely align with the 2. 5% increase that took effect this year.

Early analysis indicates inflation numbers have stabilized, providing hope for financial relief. The potential benefits are crucial for retirees facing economic pressures. Such adjustments can significantly impact their quality of life and spending power. Monitoring inflation trends will be essential as the January adjustment approaches.
