Question 4

What was the current postage rate for 2020?

Accepted Answer

The 2020 US Postage Rate for Stamps was $0.55. The rate did not increase in the year 2020 due to the very significant (largest ever) increase in 2019. The increase was challenged in court and the court ruled against the Postal Service (meaning, the courts said the 2019 large increase was not justified). As a result of the lawsuit, rates did not increase in 2020.

Question 5

Question 6

Are postage stamps going up in 2020?

Accepted Answer

No, rates stayed the same in 2020 (price of a stamp = $0.55). While the Postal Service, in the fall of 2019, initially indicated that they would be raising rates in 2020, about that time the courts ruled against the postal service regarding the 2019 increase lawsuit (filed against the Postal Service due to how large the 2019 increase was). The Postal Service then announced that First Class Forever Stamp value would remain the same in 2020 (at least the beginning of 2020).

Question 7

Are postage stamps going up in 2021?

Accepted Answer

Due to not increasing the price is 2020, combined with the massive impact on COVID-19 on the US economy and the postal system in particular, I anticipate a postage increase in 2021 of $0.03 to $0.05. The increase did not occur when normal increases would typically occur (January), but instead was the first time the USPS increased the price of a Forever Stamp in August.
