Bill Summary
A BILL To provide for cost-of-living increases for certain Federal benefits programs based on increases in the Consumer Price Index for the elderly.
AI Summary
This bill, the Fair COLA for Seniors Act of 2021, aims to provide cost-of-living increases for certain federal benefits programs based on increases in the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E), rather than the standard Consumer Price Index (CPI). It amends the Social Security Act to define the term "Consumer Price Index" to mean the CPI-E, which is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and measures the cost of living for elderly consumers. The bill also requires the Bureau to prepare and publish the CPI-E index each month. The cost-of-living increases based on the CPI-E would apply to benefits under Social Security, federal retirement systems, and various Department of Veterans Affairs programs.
