TN 3 (04-12)
Before 01/1978, we apply the separate increase method to each benefit or excess benefit for all calculations of subsequent increases due to:
recomputations,
general benefit increases, or
cost of living allowances (COLAs. (For information on the separate increase method, refer to RS 00630.100.)
All calculations of subsequent increases due to recomputations, general benefit increases, or COLAs effective after 12/1977 use the formula method found in RS 00605.021.
For calculating increases after 1977, refer to RS 00615.160.
