According to estimates from the Bureau of Labor Insurance and the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, the cumulative consumer price index (CPI) increase is expected to cross the legal threshold of 5%, and the Labor Insurance annuity is expected to be adjusted according to law in 2027. Preliminary estimates suggest that over 1.07 million retired workers will benefit. If calculated at an estimated adjustment rate of 6.03%, recipients who originally received over 20,000 yuan per month could see their monthly payments increase by approximately 1206 yuan. According to the "Labor Insurance Act," Labor Insurance annuities are not adjusted annually on a fixed basis. Instead, they are adjusted when the cumulative increase or decrease in the CPI reaches a positive or negative 5% based on the CPI of the year of claim. Bureau of Labor Insurance data shows that for the nine claim years with the current applicable base index of 105.51, if the average CPI reaches 111.87 based on the Directorate-General's forecast of a 2.07% annual CPI increase for the full year 2026, the cumulative increase will be approximately 6.03%. Even if only the average CPI for the first eight months of this year (111.34) is used, the cumulative increase compared to 105.51 has already reached 5.83%, surpassing the adjustment threshold. 13:242026/10/07 CTWant News Network Wu Mei-guan Support with action Copy Link
