特朗普政府宣布，社会保障受益人将在2027年获得3.6%的生活成本调整 1。这项调整涉及约7200万社保受益人，从2027年1月起，受益人平均每月增加75美元 1。美国社会保障局专员弗兰克·比西格纳诺在周三发表声明宣布了这一决定 1。

此举出台之际，美国消费者价格涨幅持续攀升。9月消费者价格年率升至3.7%，高于8月的3.4% 1，创下除疫情期间外自1990年以来中期选举前的最高通胀水平 1。能源成本成为推高物价的主要因素，汽油价格较去年上升34%，占总体价格涨幅的一半以上；燃油成本上升74%，航空旅行价格则上升22.4% 1。

尽管调整幅度有所提升，但养老金增幅仍跟不上医疗和住房等关键领域的成本上升 1。民调数据反映出美国人的经济困难，44%的美国人表示在过去一年中难以承担至少一项基本生活必需品 1。关于经济不平等问题，61%的美国人认为经济不平等过度，其中民主党支持者占78%，共和党支持者占42% 1。

The Trump administration has announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security beneficiaries beginning in 2027 1. Approximately 72 million Social Security recipients will receive an average monthly increase of $75 starting January 2027 1. Social Security Administration Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano made the announcement on Wednesday 1.

The adjustment comes amid rising inflation pressures across the U.S. economy. Consumer prices increased 3.7% year-over-year in September, marking a three-year high and surpassing the 3.4% rate recorded in August 1. Energy costs have driven much of this increase, with gasoline prices rising 34% compared to the previous year and accounting for more than half of overall price gains 1. Fuel costs have jumped 74%, while airfare prices have climbed 22.4% 1.

Despite the announced benefit increase, Social Security growth continues to lag behind rising expenses in critical areas such as healthcare and housing 1. The inflationary environment reflects broader economic challenges, with 44% of Americans reporting difficulty affording at least one basic necessity over the past year 1. Public concern about inequality is substantial, with 61% of Americans expressing the view that economic inequality is excessive 1.
