About this listen
Why do pensions sometimes go up? In this episode, we talk with Matt Smith, the state actuary, about COLAs (Cost of Living Adjustment) and how it’s tied to inflation. Matt explains how prices are tracked using the Consumer Price Index for Urban Workers (CPI-U) and why that matters for your pension. We also look at why COLAs are based on prices in the Seattle area, even if you live somewhere else. Tune in to find out how inflation and COLAs work together to shape your retirement income.
