🍎 Arkansas Teachers & Retired Teachers... Quick Question! Did you know your ATRS pension includes a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA)? Here's the question I ask almost every educator: Do you know if your COLA is calculated as a simple increase or a compounded increase—and what that could mean over a 20- to 30-year retirement? I've been spending time learning more about Arkansas teacher retirement so I can help educators better understand how their benefits work. If you've never had someone explain your pension, COLA, T-DROP, or retirement options in plain English, I'd be happy to sit down with you. No pressure and no obligation—just an educational conversation to help you better understand what you've earned. If you're an Arkansas teacher or retired teacher and you're curious, send me a message or comment "COLA" below, and I'll reach out.
