  "account": "In 2027, Social Security beneficiaries aged 55 million will receive one of the largest raises in 35 years, thanks to the economic policies of President Donald Trump. The annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will increase by 3.6%, marking it as the fifth-largest raise since 1993. The average retired worker will see their monthly benefit increase by $75, while workers with disabilities can expect an extra $59 per month. The boost in benefits is a direct result of President Trump's policies, which have driven up inflation. This COLA is expected to surpass previous increases like the 4.1% in 2006 and the 5.9% in 2022. In addition to the COLA, about 29 million retirees enrolled in traditional Medicare may receive a rare bonus. This is because Medicare's Part B premium, which retirees pay for outpatient services and prescription drugs, is only estimated to rise by $6.60 per month or 3.25% in 2027. This is the first time since 2023 that Social Security's COLA is projected to rise higher than Medicare's premium increase, allowing retirees to retain more of their annual COLA.",
