Subject:Implementing Two Percent Cost of Living Adjustment to Retirement Benefit for In-Home Supportive Services Public
Authority Personnel
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
the PEPRA Tier will have up to a two percent banked COLA to their retirement benefit (Government Code, §
31870), rather than up to a three percent banked COLA (Government Code, § 31870.1) as applicable to current
non-safety members of CCCERA. Employees hired on or after January 1, 2014, in classifications eligible for
membership in CCCERA, become members of CCCERA on or after February 1, 2014. (Government Code, §
31552.)
Consistent with the Governing Board’s earlier action, adoption of this resolution 2013/479 will effect the change
to the COLA for future employees who become New Members of CCCERA in the PEPRA Tier. (Government
Code, § 31483.)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in implementation of two percent cost of living adjustment to retirement benefit.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
None.
