When We Receive A COLA Next Year Will They Add The COLA To Both My Husband's Benefit And My Spousal Benefit?
I am receiving spousal benefits. Next year when we receive COLA, will they add COLA to my husband's PIA and recalculate the amount I receive in spousal benefits each month?
Hi. Yes. Percentage cost of living (COLA) increases are applied to all Social Security benefits, including spousal benefits.
Best, Jerry
