The following COLA Loss Chart shows you how much your losses are when STRS fails to pay you a Cost of Living Adjustment, which should have been added to your original base pension amount annually. This chart is based on current STRS COLA and ORC 3307.67 rules and for a 2% COLA worth $1000. If your personal COLA has a value of $500, your losses would only be half as much as the chart shows. If your personal COLA has a value of $2000, your losses would be twice as much as the chart shows. Further explanations are shown in the paragraphs following and below the COLA Loss Chart.
