Each year, NYCERS makes a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to the retirement allowance of eligible retirees. 

Here are three things you should know about COLA:

1. COLA is an annual adjustment based on the Consumer Price Index.
2. If eligible, your 2023 COLA payment is 2.5% of your Annual Maximum Retirement Allowance (AMRA) or $18,000, whichever is less. 
3. Please read COLA Fact Sheet #707, available at nycers.org, for a list of eligible retirees who will receive COLA. 

If you're eligible to receive COLA, it will be reflected in your Sept. 30, 2023, pension payment.
