Monthly Benefit Increase

The Trustees have approved the second annual increase to your monthly pension benefit. Beginning this month, your pension benefit will permanently increase by 0.4%.
The indexing plan is being phased in over about 10 years. Each September, pending Trustee review and approval, the index formula will increase by an additional 0.2% (i.e. in September 2006, the increase is scheduled to be 0.6%). Once it is completely implemented, it should ultimately result in an annual 2% increase in benefits for all retirees. This increase is designed to help offset the effects of inflation.

Full Issue: No. 157 - September 2005
