On December 11, 2013, the Retirement Board took the last action required to adopt a Plan amendment suspending the Reciprocity program with LACERS and creating a new tier of pension benefits for new hires.
Dear Retiree,
This is to let you know, the Retirement Plan Office is aware of the discrepancy in the YTD fields reflected on your checks. We are in the process of having this fixed. We expect to have the YTD fields adjusted for your July check (payable August 1).
Effective April 2011, Regular and Additional Contributions of members of the Retirement Plan will be credited at 7.75% interest rate instead of the previous 8%. The change in the interest rate is in accordance with a Plan amendment which was needed to reflect the projected future earnings of the Retirement Fund’s investment portfolio.
The 2009 Retired Employees' Association Holiday Party is scheduled for Saturday, December 5, 2009. Seating is limited to those people who have sent in their checks by November 21, 2009.
Effective September 2009, the Retirement Board meetings will be held on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month per Board Resolution Number 10-18 adopted August 19, 2009.
The retirement allowance you received dated April 1, 2009 was based on the new tax withholding tables established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The new tables reduced the amount of income tax withheld and, as a result, many retirees received a higher net allowance than the previous month. The reduction in withholdings is part of the Making Work Pay credit and other tax changes resulting from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
