‼️ Reminder for Arkansas Public Employees & Arkansas Teacher Retirement Recipients!
If you receive a retirement pension through the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System (APERS) or the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System (ATRS), your annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) takes effect each year on July 1.
✉️ Once you receive your updated benefit letter, please send us a copy as soon as possible.
This information is especially important for anyone receiving Long-Term Care Medicaid, as changes in monthly income may affect your case and may require updates to your Income Trust or other Medicaid records.
📞 If you have questions or need help, give Arkansas Senior Asset Planning (ASAP) a call. We're here to help make sure your benefits stay on track!
