Understanding Stock Market Volatility and Your Pension.With recent headlines highlighting stock market ups and downs, it’s understandable to feel a little concerned. At OCERS, our message is simple: your pension is safe—just as it has been for the past 80 years. Click to read the entire article on the OCERS website. The OCERS Board of Retirement approved a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for all retirees and eligible beneficiaries, with an extra 0.5% credited to a “COLA Bank” for future use. For 2025, the COLA is 3%. This is based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) being reported as 3.3 rounded to 3.5% as is required by statute. For all benefit recipients, who began or will begin receiving benefits on or before April 1, 2025, this adjustment will increase their allowances by 3% with the remaining 0.5% added to their “COLA Bank.” The COLA adjustment will appear on the May 1st check as benefits are paid in arrears.
