Bill Summary
Relative to cost of living adjustments for certain retired public employees. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to provide for cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for certain retired public employees. Specifically, it increases the base amount for COLAs from $13,000 to $16,000, allows retirement systems to pay COLAs on a base amount greater than $12,000 by accepting certain provisions, and establishes a schedule for phasing in COLA payments based on the percentage of the maximum Social Security benefit received by the retiree. The bill also requires annual reporting on the need for COLA increases and makes other technical changes to the COLA provisions in the law.
