AI writes half your code. Who's checking the security?

Two experts. One live session. The practical controls for AI-generated code.

Webinar   The Code Is Fine. The Security Isn't.   Join Chris Wysopal and Jim Manico live on what makes AI-generated code safer.   Register Now     AI now writes roughly half of all committed code. But "we use the best model" isn't a security strategy. Even the top performer fails nearly one in three security tasks. Chris Wysopal and Jim Manico are going live to walk through a two-part approach you can put in place right now: intent-based coding that gives AI explicit security requirements before it writes, and AI-SAST verification in your release gate to catch what slips through. No theory. Practical controls you can apply to your pipeline this week.     Register Now       36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN United Kingdom     emea@veracode.com      +44 (0)20 3761 5501 © 2026 Veracode Inc.

October 05, 2026   |   Read online Monday Briefing: SNAP enrollment plummeting nationwide; 5M lost benefits in one year; states adding red tape to cut costs; 2027 COLA projected 3.5%+; Trump $90 Medicare payment; and more Catch up in minutes with your daily briefing on the Social Security, Medicare & Retirement news that affects you most. What to Know for Monday, October 5th, 2026: 1: 2027 Social Security COLA projected 3.5%+ — one of largest in 35 years but accelerates trust fund depletion, forcing earlier benefit cuts (Image Credit: Getty Images) 2027 COLA expected 3.5-3.7% providing $73 monthly boost to average beneficiary — sixth- or fifth-largest raise since 1993: October 14 announcement confirms final figure after August/September inflation data release — far exceeds typical modest COLAs Trustees Report models when projecting long-term solvency — beneficiaries enjoy immediate bigger checks but unintended consequence emerging with each oversized raise. Trump's tariff policies and Iran war driving historic inflation spike — 10-12.5% global tariffs reimposed July 2026, Strait of Hormuz closed halting 20% global crude oil supply: Fuel oil prices up 52%, gasoline up 27.4%, electricity up 3.8% year-over-year — these policies artificially boosted 2026 COLA modestly with 2027 effects rippling larger as tariffs and fuel disruptions compound — inflation outpacing actual purchasing power needs of seniors on fixed incomes. Larger-than-modeled COLAs drain OASI asset reserves faster than projected, accelerating depletion from Q4 2032 to earlier date — higher annual COLAs worsen long-term solvency math: While beneficiaries enjoy bigger checks now, each oversized COLA shortens runway before automatic 22% benefit cuts kick in when reserves exhaust — historic Trump bump paradoxically accelerates timeline to sweeping cuts affecting 60M+ beneficiaries — policy designed to help seniors immediately may force harder sacrifices later. ➜ Read the full article from the Motley Fool here. 2: SNAP enrollment plummeting nationwide — 5M lost benefits in one year, states adding red tape to cut costs instead of losing federal funding (Image Credit: Getty Images) 5 million Americans including 1M+ children lost SNAP benefits in past year (July 2025-April 2026) — enrollment now at levels forecast for 2030, arriving five years early: Arizona hardest hit with 55% enrollment drop (400K+ fewer participants), but nationwide trend shows this isn't about reduced poverty or affordability — it's policy-driven cascading administrative barriers combined with stricter work requirements — average monthly SNAP benefit only $344/household, yet 42 million Americans still depend on food aid to put groceries on the table. States required to pay 75% of SNAP administrative costs effective October 1, 2026 (previously federal covered more) — creates millions in unexpected state expenses with no additional federal aid flowing to compensate: Arizona Department of Economic Security reports unprecedented call volumes and verification requirement barriers stopping applicants mid-process — states lacking budget relief forced to choose between cutting other programs, raising taxes, or discouraging people from applying — rational choice for financially-squeezed states becomes adding red tape making applications harder. Starting 2027, states with payment error rates above 6% will pay portion of their own SNAP benefits if errors exceed threshold — incentivizes denying eligible applicants to lower error rates: Research on SNAP history shows state administration decisions directly impact who gets help — when states prioritize "accuracy" over "timeliness," eligible families never connect with available assistance — this design creates perverse incentive: easier to deny people than fix bureaucratic errors, shifting hunger crisis from federal budget to food banks and communities. ➜ Read the full article from The Conversation here. 3: Trump announces $90 one-time Medicare payment — 20.8M Part B enrollees receiving rebate in early October, but 43M others excluded (Image Credit: Getty Images) One-time $90 payment to offset Medicare Part B premiums arriving October 2026 via direct deposit or mailed check — 20.8 million eligible beneficiaries from Medicare Improvement Fund ($2 billion account established 2008, never before used for patient rebates): Standard Part B premium currently $202.90/month means $90 rebate covers roughly five days of premium costs — administration claims premium reductions but CNN reports Part B premiums actually jumped $17.90 (9.7%) from 2025-2026, largest increase in four years — one-time rebate masks ongoing premium acceleration. Exclusions leave majority of Medicare beneficiaries out of payment: Medicare Advantage enrollees (22+ million), beneficiaries on Medicaid (subsidized premiums already), and IRMAA-paying high-income seniors disqualified — only 20.8M of 64.7M Part B enrollees qualify: White House messaging says "most beneficiaries" eligible; reality shows one-third of Part B population receives payment — Medicare Advantage numbers actually swelling as seniors seek lower out-of-pocket costs — one-time rebate doesn't address underlying structural issues with Part B premium escalation. Announced weeks before midterm elections as campaign tactic — prior Trump pledges ($500 stimulus refunds, 20% DOGE savings) failed to materialize, raising questions about $90 delivery timeline: Check status available starting October 15 by calling SSA 1-800-772-1213 — direct deposit recipients should see funds early October on or around October 8 — paper checks arriving later October — limited fund ($2 billion covers ~92% for these payments alone). ➜ Read the full article from AL here.   Free Medicare Help with Chapter 90% of American seniors are on the wrong Medicare plan.
