    Cost of Living Adjustment

    Did you hear?  Federal retirees and survivors will receive a 1.7% Cost-of-Living adjustment (COLA) effective December 1, 2014.  You will see the increase in the January 2, 2015, payment.

    Why wait until you receive your annual mailer at the end of December to see your new monthly annuity amount.  Simply go to Services Online (SOL) (www.servicesonline.opm.gov) to see your new annuity amount.     If you do not remember your password for SOL, simply follow the instructions to get a new one.

    While on SOL, why not do some annuity housekeeping by checking to make sure we have your correct mailing address, email address and the proper Federal or state tax withholdings.   

    Additionally, help us reduce our carbon footprint by opting in to receive your annual mailer and 1099R electronically.  Receiving them electronically will allow you to receive the information sooner and save them directly to your computer for easy access in the future.  

    As always, OPM continues to keep your transactions on SOL safe, secure and easy for you to access at any time 24/7 365 days a year.
