Worst Case Scenario – No COLA for 30 Years

 

Please sign MRTA’s Petition to the Governor Regarding the PSRS/PEERS Board of Trustees.   Click here to sign online OR click here for a printable version to collect signatures.

There has been some confusion. TO CLARIFY: The PSRS/PEERS Board vote on June 14th approving Option 3.  MRTA recommended Option 2 by clicking here.  Option 3 results in a 0% COLA when the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is 0% to 2%. This is an actuarial vote, meaning it is a 30 year policy to be reviewed every five years.  This is NOT a one year reduction of COLA, you will likely not receive a COLA for at least the next five years under this policy. This could be devastating to retirees over time.
