Social Security checks could get a little bigger next year. Here's what to expect.

A 3.5% cost-of-living adjustment is projected for 2027, which could add roughly $73 a month to the average retiree's benefit. The final number isn't official until inflation data comes out in October, but if it holds, it would be one of the stronger increases in recent years.

The bigger picture still matters though. Social Security remains under long-term financial pressure, and lawmakers are actively working on ways to keep it solvent for the millions who depend on it.
