Retired Public Employees Council of WA Working to protect and enhance the pension and health care benefits of Washington retired state, county and local government employees
RPEC members attended the Select Committee on Pension Policy (SCPP) meeting this morning at the Capitol Campus where the committee voted in favor of recommending a 3% Plan 1 benefit increase (COLA), capped at $62.50/month on July 1, 2019, for members not receiving a minimum benefit and who have been retired at least one year.
The committee also vote in favor of changing the default plan selection for new hires from Plan 3 to Plan 2.
We will continue to follow these items as they progress into the Legislature as it begins in January 2019.
