Compared against the N.C. General Statutes as published AI-generated reading aid — verify against the official bill.

The bill adds a one-time cost-of-living supplement for eligible retirees of the Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System.

  • G.S. 128-27

    (hhh) In accordance with subsection (a) of this section, on or before October 31, 2021, a one-time cost-of-living supplement payment shall be made to or on account of beneficiaries who are living as of September 1, 2021, and whose retirement commenced on or before September 1, 2021. The payment shall be two percent (2%) of the beneficiary's annual retirement allowance payable as of September 1, 2021, and shall not be prorated for date of retirement commencement.

    This new subsection establishes a one-time 2% cost-of-living supplement for eligible retirees.

  • G.S. 128-27

    If the beneficiary dies before the payment is made, then the payment shall be payable to the member's legal representative.

    This provision ensures that if an eligible retiree passes before receiving the payment, it will go to their legal representative.

  • G.S. 128-27

    No beneficiary shall be deemed to have acquired a vested right to any future supplemental payments.

    This clarifies that eligibility for future supplemental payments is not guaranteed.
