Social Security COLA changes and earnings limits for 2000
Since 1975 automatic cost of living adjustments track CPI with no congressional vote. 2000 COLA set to be the highest since 1997 amid rising energy prices, while the earnings cap for Social Security payroll taxes rises to 76100 from 72600 and the early retirement earnings limit climbs to 10080 from 9600. Analysts warn CPI may overstate inflation, fueling debate on COLA cuts as baby boomers retire.
