How to Predict the 2023 COLA and Avoid Being Surprised by a Lower Annuity Payment – Federal Retirement News
The Consumer Price Index (CPI-W) values are taken from the current year’s third quarter (July–September). These figures are then compared to the average CPI-W reading from the prior year’s third quarter (2021). The average reading for this year’s (2022) third quarter is compared to the previous year’s third quarter (2021). If the average CPI-W rises in 2022, beneficiaries will receive the difference, rounded to the nearest 0.1%, as an increase in 2022. If the value is lower, no adjustment is made, suggesting deflation, which happened multiple times throughout Obama’s presidency.
