2009 Cost of Living Adjustment
| Your annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will increase your July 31st FRS benefit payment. If your retirement was effective on or before July 1, 2008, you will receive the full 3% COLA increase. If your retirement effective date was after July 1, 2008, your first cost-of-living increase will be a partial increase based on the number of months you have been retired in that fiscal year (July 1st - June 30th). NOTE: National Guard Supplemental Retirement benefit payments and Health Insurance Subsidy (HIS) payments are not increased by this COLA.
