AI Summary

This bill proposes to provide additional cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for state and teacher retirees in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would grant a $100 additional benefit to retirees with at least 15 years of retirement and a $200 additional benefit to retirees with at least 20 years of retirement, if their total annual retirement benefit is less than the average annual retirement benefit determined by the most recent actuarial valuation. The bill also allows other retirement systems in the state to adopt similar provisions upon acceptance by the system's board and legislative body. The additional benefits would apply to both retirees and eligible surviving beneficiaries.
