2026 PAY RAISE FOR DISABLED VETERANS & MILITARY RETIREES

In 2026, disabled veterans and military retirees will receive a 2.8% increase in their monthly paychecks, effective from December 1, 2025. This adjustment is part of the annual Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) tied to inflation, reflecting ongoing economic conditions. This increase is slightly higher than the 2.5% raise implemented in 2025, indicating a continued effort to support veterans and retirees amidst rising consumer costs. Source- Military.Com
