Each year, the Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is meant to protect the value of benefits retirees have earned. Too often, though, people view it as just another government calculation — something small, automatic, and hardly worth a second thought. That mindset overlooks what COLAs truly represent: a promise kept.
When benefits are adjusted fairly to reflect real inflation, retirees receive what they’ve already worked for and funded through a lifetime of payroll contributions. It isn’t charity, and it isn’t optional — it’s the fulfillment of Social Security’s original guarantee. Every retiree, regardless of financial position, deserves that assurance.
Speaking up about this issue follows the same principle. One voice may feel small, but silence tells Congress that seniors aren’t paying attention. A petition, on the other hand, puts lawmakers on notice. It shows that retirees expect fairness and are united in their demand for it.
That’s why we’ve already delivered more than 100,000 petitions to Congress, and why it’s crucial to keep the pressure on as the next COLA decision approaches. Each signature reinforces the message that Americans are watching and won’t accept watered-down adjustments.
Fair COLAs are not just about dollars and cents — they’re about respect, dignity, and keeping promises. Join us by adding your name to the petition today, and help ensure that seniors everywhere receive the full and fair COLAs they’ve earned.

The Seniors Center is committed to finding solutions to strengthen and protect the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is a contract between citizens and the government. Money deposited in the Trust Fund should only be used to pay benefits to eligible recipients.
The Seniors Center is demanding Congress finally put a stop to the careless borrowing and spending by greedy politicians that has put our Trust Fund and our secure retirement in jeopardy.
At The Seniors Center, our goal is to help seniors, and we’re doing that by protecting the future of Social Security. Retirees shouldn’t have to worry about losing their hard-earned benefits to taxes or the agendas of greedy politicians. If you agree, we invite you to sign our petition today!
