3 NCRSP joins with 2016 NCAE Operation Cooperation Project All NCRSP members attending the 2016 State Convention are invited to donate school supplies to the Operation Cooperation Project, which includes the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Parent Involvement Mobile Resource Unit. The unit is a school bus equipped to do outreach to parents across the district. Parent involvement coordinators serve as volunteers. They distribute information on topics such as helping with homework, school procedures, registering students for kindergarten, and how parents can obtain a GED. School supplies are also distributed from the bus. Bring your donated school supplies when you come to the convention in Winston-Salem. NCRSP staff will gather and store them until they can be turned over to the school district. Suggested donation items include: --backpacks (kindergarten through high school) --calculators (for middle and high school students) --facial tissues --markers, crayons, glue sticks, pencils and pens --puzzles (kindergarten through 2 nd grade) Monetary donations are also very welcome. Make checks payable to: Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools Parent Involvement Mobile Resource Unit. NCAE endorses candidates for public office In addition to its endorsement of gubernatorial candidate Roy Cooper, NCAE has endorsed the following candidates as friends and supporters of public education: U.S. Senator Deborah Ross Attorney General Josh Stein State Treasurer Dan Blue III Secretary of State Elaine Marshall Other NCAE endorsements will be published as soon as they are available. NCRSP presents two new briefing sheets on COLAs and questions for candidates As part of its continuing effort to help members educate themselves on public policy issues affecting retirees and the public schools, NCRSP has developed briefing sheets on the topics of Cost of Living Increases (COLAs) for retirees and a list of questions that members can put to political candidates who want our support. Both of these documents are included in this edition of the MONTHLY REPORT. Please feel free to reproduce them and encourage all Regions and Local Units to make use of them. Please read on.... NCRSP has a new Administrative Assistant Ms. Lena Whitfield of Raleigh has succeeded Ashley Coleman as the second of two NCRSP Administrative Assistants. Tera Shepard remains on staff. Ms. Coleman resigned in December to accept a post at NC DHHS. Please do your part to welcome Lena to our team! 3 of 5

4 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Retired Teachers and State Employees 2016 Fact Sheet North Carolina retired teachers and state employees received no COLA in 2015 even though there was money available for the legislature to provide a 1% increase and the Retirement Board of Trustees encouraged the legislature to do so. Governor McCrory did not recommend a COLA in his budget. The House of Representatives did initially support a 2% COLA in their version of the budget, while the Senate recommended NO increase for retirees -- but in the final days of budget negotiations, a retiree COLA completely disappeared from consideration -- legislators decided to use this money to fund something else! NOTE: Most active state employees received a $750 bonus last year, but retirees didn t even get that. The average annual benefit/pension for retirees of TSERS is about $20,650. A 1% COLA is about $17/month or $204/year!!!! (Each 1% retiree COLA costs about $39 million initially with a total cost of about $380 million, due to the long term increase in liability to the pension fund.) In 1941, the Teachers and State Employees Retirement System (referred to as TSERS or the State Plan ) was established. TSERS provides benefits to all full-time teachers and state employees in all public school systems, universities, departments, institutions and agencies of the state. With almost $65 billion in assets and over 640,000 members as of December 31, 2014, it is the largest pension plan within the NC Retirement System. (Other plans in the NC Retirement System are Local Government, Legislative, and Judicial). Currently, almost 200,000 retired members and survivors of deceased members receive monthly pension benefits from TSERS. North Carolina s Retirement System is financially sound one of the strongest public pension plans in the nation, thanks in part to the General Assembly contributing the Annual Required Contribution (ARC) each year-- except one. NCRSP has consistently encouraged the legislature to fully fund the ARC which helps keep the Retirement System in good shape! It is a Defined Benefit (DB) Plan, which means that both active employees and the state pay into the plan, and these funds are managed by the Office of the State Treasurer. Retirees from this system are guaranteed a defined benefit amount for the rest of their lives. The DB Plan has worked well for the past 75 years and NCRSP has consistently supported this type of plan, as opposed to a Defined Contribution (DC) plan which works much like a 401-k plan. Retirees are not guaranteed a benefit and depending on the growth (or lack thereof) of their investments, retirees could out-live their retirement savings. COLAs are given by the legislature on an ad hoc basis (not guaranteed), as monies are available. But retiree COLAs have not kept up with changes in the cost of living or purchasing power. Since 2009, retirees have received only two COLAs: a 1% COLA in and a 1% COLA in About 95% of retirement benefit recipients live in the state and their pension dollars help stimulate NC s economy. A recent study by AARP says every dollar spent by retirees generates 4 of 5

5 ten dollars of economic activity and that retirees spending supports an estimated 45,000 jobs statewide. -- NCRSP February 2016 Questions for legislators and political candidates Public Schools/Teacher Salaries Q: How do you feel about the state of public education in NC and what, if anything would you like to see done differently? (Note for NCRSP: Do they have supportive vision for public education and mention anything about teacher salaries, ways to recruit and maintain educators/staff, etc.) Retirement System: As retirees, most of us contributed 6% of our monthly salary to the retirement system while we were working. In addition, the legislature has done a wonderful job of funding the state portion of system--which we really appreciate! This cooperative arrangement has helped make and keep North Carolina s retirement system one of the most well-funded retirement systems for teachers, government employees and yes, legislators, in the country. Some politicians, however, now feel that our current Defined Benefit Plan is too costly, even though it has worked very well for 75 years, and want to change the way it s managed. Q: How do you feel about the current Retirement System and what, if anything, would you do differently? (NOTE for NCRSP: NCRSP opposes a move from current DB plan to DC plan. The Retirement Division does offer DC-type plans on a voluntary basis as supplements for members (401-k, 457 Deferred Compensation, and 403 B) Health Insurance: The NC State Health Plan provides several health insurance options for active employees, the legislature, and retirees. 5 of 5

6 Q: What is your vision for health insurance (the State Health Plan) for members, both active and retired? (NOTE for NCRSP: Want to see strategies/vision for how to maintain a viable and financially sound plan for both active and retired members. Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for retirees As you know, our monthly retirement checks are based on the salaries we earned while working for the state of NC. Many of our members retired years ago when salaries were even smaller than they are today, thus their monthly pensions from the state retirement system are very low -- and costs of just about everything have increased. In the past nine years, retired teachers and state employees have had only two Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA s) from the legislature 1% each time! Q: As a legislator, how do you see yourself advocating for retirees and what sort of information would be helpful to you as you support a COLA for retirees? (Note for NCRSP: We want to use this question as a way to educate incumbents and candidates --- and hopefully get their positive ideas/support for retirees.) 6 of 5
