Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has indeed been compiling an experimental CPI for the elderly, called CPI-E. This CPI uses spending patterns of households where the reference person or spouse is 62 years or older and reports 50% or more of the household's income. It aims to reflect the consumption realities of seniors more accurately, as they tend to spend a larger share of their budgets on healthcare, housing, and other items than younger people. However, the CPI-E is not currently used to adjust Social Security benefits or other government programs' payments.
