The supplied reports also say some beneficiaries will receive their 2027 COLA raises early. The 2027 taxable earnings cap is $192,300, with a maximum Social Security tax of $11,922.60, up $7,800 in one year. The reports do not provide the official COLA percentage, the early-payment dates or the specific rule change affecting nearly $1,000, so those details remain unverified here.
