CITY BENEFITS

Notice to City of Arlington Retirees

Effective January 1, 2011, the rate for Retiree Cost of Living Adjustments was reduced from 70% to 50% of CPI. This decision was made in the budget process and approved by the City Council for implementation in calendar year 2011.

An Annuity Increase – also called a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) – is an option chosen by cities to increase annuities for retirees. We have posted a document that was written by TMRS that explains what these adjustments mean for Retirees and how these adjustments are calculated.

Additionally, there is a section in the document that explains what happens when a City chooses to lower its COLA, as the City of Arlington did in 2011.

If you should have any questions regarding the reduction in the COLA and what it may mean for you specifically, you may contact TMRS at 1-800-924-8677.
