Chained CPI: How Much Will You Lose?

Jackie Tortora
February 22, 2013

Let's be clear, the "chained" CPI is a Social Security benefit cut. The younger you are, the bigger the benefit cut.

AARP has a handy new calculator that helps you calculate how much you lose if Congress enacts a "chained" CPI. The tool also calculates veterans' benefits.

Check out the AARP Chained CPI Calculator here.
