§ 930.5. Cost of living adjustment--Calculation
Currentness
A. It is the intent of the Legislature to provide a cost of living adjustment to retirants of the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System which reflects a replacement of the loss of purchasing power, while remaining consistent with the basic benefit formula of the System.
B. To fulfill the intent as set forth in subsection A of this section, every person receiving retirement benefits from the System as of June 30, 1997, who continues to receive benefits on or after July 1, 1998, shall receive an increase in retirement benefits as follows:
1. Persons who have been retired ten (10) years or less will receive two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the retirement benefit on July 1, 1998, multiplied by the number of years the member has been retired;
2. Persons who have been retired in excess of ten (10) years will receive two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the retirement benefit on July 1, 1998, multiplied by ten (10);
3. For purposes of calculating the increase, the member's effective retirement date will be utilized, provided further, that a fractional year of six (6) months or more shall be considered as one (1) year and less than six (6) months shall be disregarded;
4. The increase provided in this section shall become effective with the July 1998 benefit payment.
