 Cost of living adjustments (COLA) are made to pensioners’ benefits to reflect annual changes in the cost of living. COLAs are calculated as a percentage of your current pension benefit.
The size of any year’s COLA is based on the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County Area Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the previous one-year March through February period. For more information about the CPI, you may visit the Bureau of Labor Statistics website or call their hotline at 310-235-6884.
Your qualified surviving spouse / domestic partner may also be eligible to receive the same COLAs (percentages, not dollar amounts) that you were eligible to receive.
Please follow the appropriate link for an overview about COLAs and your pension plan tier:
For more detailed information, please refer to your pension plan’s Summary Plan Description (SPD). You may also view historical COLA percentages.
