Retiree Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA)
How the COLA and the COLA Bank work

The Cost of Living Adjustment factor is determined by comparing the December CPI (Consumer Price Index) for the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area, for the past two years. The Board computes the resulting percentage change in the CPI. The actual COLA is dependent on your previous employment tier and your retirement date.
