From the BLS:

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent in September on a seasonally adjusted basis, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 1.7 percent before seasonal adjustment.
...
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.1 percent in September. ... The 12-month change in the index for all items less food and energy also remained at 1.7 percent.

I'll post a graph later today after the Cleveland Fed releases the median and trimmed-mean CPI. This was close to the consensus forecast of no change for CPI, and a 0.1% increase in core CPI.

Cost-Of-Living Adjustment (COLA): The BLS reported CPI-W increased to 234.170 in September, for a Q3 average of 234.242. In Q3 2013, CPI-W average 230.33. The annual Social Security Cost-Of-Living Adjustment will be 1.7%.
