Supplements\nshall be subject to the same conditions of payment as are allowances.\n\nB. The amounts of the post-retirement supplements shall be determined as\npercentages of the allowances supplemented hereby. The percentages shall be\ndetermined annually by reference to the increase in the United States Average\nConsumer Price Index for all items, all urban consumers (CPI-U), as published by\nthe Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. The\npercentages shall be based on monthly averages and shall be the difference\nbetween (i) the average for the calendar year just ended and (ii) the average\nfor the most recent calendar year used in the determination of the\npost-retirement supplements currently being paid. The annual increase, if any,\nin the CPI-U shall be considered only to the extent of the first two percent\nplus one-half of the next two percent of any additional increase, or a maximum\nincrease in the post-retirement supplement of three percent in any given year.\nHowever, for anyone who (a) is not a person who becomes a member on or after\nJuly 1, 2010, and (b) has at least 60 months of creditable service as of January\n1, 2013, the applicable annual increase, if any, in the CPI-U shall be\nconsidered only to the extent of the first three percent plus one-half of the\nnext four percent of any additional increase, or a maximum increase in the\npost-retirement supplement of five percent in any given year. If the difference\nin the percentages determined above is zero or less, the post-retirement\nsupplements shall either not commence or shall continue unchanged until such\ntime as an annual determination results in a difference in the percentages that\nare greater than zero. A participant in the hybrid retirement program described\nin § 51.1-169 shall be considered to be a person who becomes a member on or\nafter July 1, 2010, for the purposes of this section.\n\t\t\tContribution rates for all employers shall include an amount equal to 100\npercent of the total annual amount necessary to fund all post-retirement\nsupplements. All contribution rates shall be computed in accordance with\nrecognized actuarial principles on the basis of methods and assumptions approved\nby the Board.\n\nC. There shall be no change in the amount of any post-retirement supplement\nbetween determination dates except as necessary to reflect changes in the amount\nof the allowance being supplemented. The post-retirement supplement shall remain\na constant percentage of the respective allowance being supplemented. No new\npost-retirement supplement shall be commenced except as of a determination date.\nThe post-retirement supplement determined as of any determination dates shall\nbecome effective at the beginning of the fiscal year and shall be in lieu of any\npost-retirement supplements previously payable, which shall thereupon be\nterminated.\n\nD. 1. Any recipient of an allowance which initially commenced on or prior to\nJanuary 1, 1990, shall be entitled to post-retirement supplements effective July\n1, 1991.\n\n 2. A person who is the recipient of an allowance pursuant to § 2.2-3204,\n subsection Q of Item 469 of Chapter 890 of the Acts of Assembly of 2011, or\n § 51.1-155.1, 51.1-155.2, 51.1-157, 51.1-162, 51.1-207, 51.1-218,\n 51.1-308, 51.1-1117, 51.1-1128, 51.1-1161, or 51.1-1169 must receive that\n allowance for one full calendar year before being entitled to post-retirement\n supplements.\n\n 3. Any person who, as of January 1, 2013, (i) is the recipient of an allowance\n under this title or (ii) would otherwise be eligible for an unreduced\n allowance under the applicable chapter within five years, including a person\n described in clause (ii) who commences an unreduced allowance on or after\n January 1, 2013, must receive that allowance for one full calendar year before\n being entitled to post-retirement supplements.\n\n 4. Any other person who has less than 20 years of creditable service must\n receive that allowance for one full calendar year after the date he would\n otherwise have been eligible for an unreduced allowance under the applicable\n chapter before being entitled to post-retirement supplements.\n\nHISTORY: 1970, c. 476, \u00a7 51-111.60:1; 1977, c. 620; 1980, c. 163; 1982, c. 467;\n1987, cc. 13, 14; 1990, c. 832; 1991, c. 719; 1996, c. 1030; 2010, cc. 737, 738,\n752; 2012, cc. 701, 823; 2013, c. 463; 2014, c. 356.","edition":{"id":1,"name":"2025","slug":"2025","date_created":"2026-06-21 22:39:22","date_modified":"2026-06-21 22:39:22","current":1,"order_by":1,"last_import":null}}
