When we talk about Social Security COLAs, there are plenty of arguments in favor of them.

As a voice that campaigns for yearly Cost-of-Living-Adjustments including reimbursement for years skipped, we promote our point in different ways.

As we’ve pointed out, the argument in favor of yearly increases is both moral and economic in nature. But there’s another important side of the case for COLAs that often gets skipped over.

These adjustments are important for the wellness of America’s retirees. With medical expenses rising, seniors need their benefits raised to support a healthy retirement life.

Benefit Adjustments Can Boost Health — in More Ways Than One

It’s no secret that seniors have higher medical expenses than most people. What some people may not know is that Medicare premiums are rising.

This is a big cost for many seniors. Even those who can shoulder it shouldn’t have to stretch in order to do so. Fair benefit adjustments make it easier to stay healthy and enjoy the retirement you’ve earned.

But what about those seniors who don’t have high healthcare costs? Even this group can be healthier with a Social Security COLA. The adjustment can cover ingredients for healthy recipes, gym memberships, and more.

Some seniors may even decide to try spa treatments, sports, or other activities in retirement that can boost their health. You’ve earned this time, and your Social Security payment, and good health helps you enjoy both.

The only question is, how can you campaign for the Social Security boost you deserve?
