The next Annual Increase (AI) will be paid in July 2023 and will be 1.0% for eligible benefit recipients.
Keep in mind that you may have to meet certain eligibility requirements before receiving your first AI. Eligibility for the AI and the amount of the AI depends on the following:
Your benefit structure (PERA or DPS)
Your membership start date
Whether or not you received an AI prior to May 1, 2018
The type of benefit you are receiving—full service retirement, reduced service retirement, disability retirement, or survivor benefit (the AI for a cobeneficiary who becomes a benefit recipient following the death of the retiree is based on the original retiree’s benefit type, retirement date, and age)
Your effective date of retirement
For reduced service retirement, if you were eligible to retire on January 1, 2011
Colorado PERA is fully committed to providing accessible facilities, elements and
channels of communication to all members of the public. As part of this commitment, Colorado PERA
has a policy of providing an accessible website compatible with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) and
commercial screen reading software. All features of the website are coded to allow individuals with vision and
other impairments to understand and use the website to the same degree as someone without disabilities. We welcome
feedback and can often resolve issues in a timely manner if they arise.
If you need any special assistance or accommodations:
Colorado PERA has designated a compliance officer for website disability-related accommodations.
The compliance officer has received training in website accessibility and updates the site in accordance with those best
practices. Contact our accessibility officer to report an issue.
Compliance Procedures and Reports
In addition to testing with users with a wide range of disabilities and coding our website to WCAG standards,
Colorado PERA regularly scans its website to ensure ongoing compliance, and makes timely
changes to any inaccessible changes, if any are found.
