With consumer prices down over the past year, monthly Social Security and Supplemental Security Income benefits for more then 57 million Americans will not automatically increase in 2010.  this will be the first year without an automatic Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) since they went into effect in 1975.

Download the Cost Of Living Allowance (COLA) adjustment for 2009.

NOTE:  All tenants receiving Social Security benefits must still provide award letters for income verification at annual recertification.  Even if there has not been a COLA increase for 2010, it cannot be assumed that there has been no adjustment in the tenant's benefits.  Be sure to obtain 2010 award letters.  If the award letter indicates that there has been no change, then the previous year's amounts may be used.
