Question: do retired federal employees get cola?
Answer: All CSRS retirees and survivors receive COLAs. Under FERS, however, nondisabled retirees under the age of 62 do not receive COLAs. Survivors and disabled retirees are eligible for COLAs under FERS regardless of age. ... Therefore, beginning in January 2020, the CSRS COLA and the FERS COLA are both 1.6%.
