One-time Retroactive COLA Payment for Eligible Participating Local District (PLD) Consolidated Retirement Plan Retirees

On January 11, 2024, under its rulemaking authority, the MainePERS Board of Trustees approved a one-time retroactive cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for eligible retirees who receive monthly payments through the Participating Local District (PLD) Consolidated Retirement Plan. 

Eligible retirees will receive a payment equaling 0.5% of their yearly benefit for the period ending August 31, 2023. This one-time payment applies to retirees who were eligible for a cost-of-living adjustment in September 2023.  It will not be included in the calculation of future benefit adjustments.

The additional one-time payment will be part of the retiree payroll processed in February. It may appear as a separate payment and retirees may receive an advice of deposit specific to this one-time payment.

Change in Business and Operation Hours

MainePERS has temporarily revised its business hours to Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for reaching Member Services Representatives by telephone and in person lobby services.

MainePERS, similar to many organizations, is experiencing staffing challenges in the current labor market. This adjustment of our hours will allow our limited staff the opportunity on Fridays to focus on responding to pending member, retiree, and beneficiary requests in a more timely manner.   

Contacting MainePERS via email remains an option through our MainePERS Directory and we continue to offer a secure email system via Zixmail for sending communications that include sensitive information. 

For those who prefer to use the postal service, documents or forms may be mailed to MainePERS, P.O. Box 349, Augusta, ME 04332-0349. A secure drop box is also available at our lobby entrance to drop off any completed forms or other documents.

We look forward to assisting you.
