Contract COLA: 0%

There was no projected accumulation toward the fourth regular cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for letter carriers under the 2006-2011 National Agreement December 16, following the release of the November Consumer Price Index (CPI). The next COLA will reflect the increase in the CPI between July 2008 and January 2009, and will be payable the second full pay period following the release of the January 2009 index.

There are eight COLAs included in the 2006-2011 contract.


2010 Retiree COLA: 0%

There was no projected accumulation toward the 2010 retiree COLA in December following the release of the November Consumer Price Index (CPI).

The actual COLA will reflect the difference between the average Consumer Price Index for the third quarter of 2008 and the average CPI for the third quarter of 2009.


2009 FECA COLA: 0.7%

The accumulation toward the 2008 FECA COLA was at 0.7 percent following the release December 16 of the November 2008 CPI.

The 2009 FECA COLA will be based on the increase in the CPI between December 2007 and December 2008 and will become effective on March 1, 2009.
