Will I Get The COLA If I Was Born On January 28th 1961?

I was born 1961 my birthday was january 28 thinking to retirement can I get cola

Hi. No. Only people who were born before January 2 1961 will have the recent 8.7% cost of living (COLA) increase added to their Social Security retirement benefit rate.

Best, Jerry
