Key Takeaways

  • •This law gives extra money to retired or deceased state/local workers (except school workers) who retired or died before 1975.
  • •The extra money is a percentage based on when they retired or died. For example, if they retired in 1971, they get a 7.05% increase.
  • •The extra money starts on January 1, 1980, or when the rule applies to their workplace, and lasts until the next April 1st.
  • •The workplace had to agree to this rule by December 31, 2001, or it doesn’t apply.

Example
