the indexed limits

[Tom Poje]

the average CPI-U for the period July-Aug-Sept 2014 was 238.044

the values for Oct-Nov-Dec

were 237.433 236.151 and 234.812, all well below that average.

based solely on the regs, this would mean that some (If not all) of the limits would actually drop if those numbers hold true throughout the upcoming year.

But the only other time this happened a few years ago they said we can never drop from one year to the next (otherwise soc sec would also drop and the folks in Washington have a problem with that!)

so the real early look for 2016 would say don't plan on any changes.
