OLGT 2015-71: No 2016 Social Security COLA for TAFDC, EAEDC and SNAP

Every year the Social Security Administration calculates a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for RSDI and SSI benefits. This COLA can affect TAFDC, EAEDC and SNAP benefits.

Monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits will not increase in 2016 as there was NO increase in the Consumer Price Index from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015.
