About the Coalition
The Coalition exists to advocate for Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) to Kansas Public  Employees Retirement (KPERS) benefits. This advocacy includes building a coalition with other KPERS retired groups, working with state legislators, and activating members to take action to support these adjustments. Learn more about the history of COLAs and the work of the coalition since 2004.
