On September 30, 2022, OCERS began mailing letters to retirees and other payees affected by the “Alameda” Decision that require recalculations on their monthly benefit. The letters were delivered to our mailing house for processing and are going out today first class via the U.S. Postal Service.

This letter will provide an update on OCERS’ progress on the recalculation process. Recalculations have begun for members with the highest benefit reductions. Due to the large number of impacted members, the recalculation of each individual benefit will take more time to complete.

Payees will receive advanced written notice at the time the recalculation is performed to provide time for the member to review the details prior to the reduction taking effect.
