COLA Vs. Workers Pay Raise

Haws Federal Advisors Podcast ·

2020/06/30

Only a few months ago in January, federal employees saw a pay raise of 3.1%. At the same time, federal retirees only saw an increase of 1.6% to their pensions. The difference comes from how those increases come about. The increase the retirees see every year is called COLA, or Cost of Living Adjustment. The increase comes from a price index that is supposed to mirror inflation. Some would argue that it doesn’t do a great job (health insurance rates are rising at nearly 5.5% per year) but

What to Know About The Federal Long Term Care Program

2020/06/09

Before we start talking about the federal Long Term Care Program we have to address what long-term care insurance is and why someone might want it. In the past, when someone got older and was unable to take care of themselves, their children often stepped in and cared for their parents. In modern times, this solution might still be applicable but there are many situations where it is not. Someone may not have kids or may not want to have to rely on their kids.

What To Do At Least 5 Years Before Retirement Retirement may seem like a distant dream, but it generally comes faster than you think. Some people only start thinking about retirement when they are within a year of leaving the government. While some people get away with this, it is much harder to be proactive with that short amount of time.
