COLA INCREASE

Below is the latest information regarding the annual COLA increase excerpted from the Chief-Leader.. Retired public employees in New York will see a 1.4-percent cost-of-living-adjustment for the first $18,000 of their pensions this year, an increase of $252 annually.

The increase amounts to $21 extra per month for anyone with a pension worth $18,000 or more. Those earning less will see smaller increases—for example, a $12,000 pension will get a $168-a-year bump. The increase matches the 2011 rise, which was the largest since a 2-percent bump in 2008

VA Survivors Website

The Veterans Benefits Administration has created a “Survivors” Web site http://www.vba.va.gov/survivors/ for spouses and dependents of military personnel who died on active duty and for the survivors and dependents of veterans who died after leaving the military. 

The Web site is organized into two broad categories – death in service and death after service. It provides visitors with information about a wide range of benefits for the surviving spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents of deceased veterans and active-duty personnel. The site also has information from -- and links to -- other federal agencies and organizations that offer benefits and services to survivors and dependents plus online download of all forms needed to apply for benefits.
