"...While Social Security recipients receive the full adjustment even if they first claimed Social Security during the same calendar year, FERS and CSRS retirees who entered retirement in 2022 will see the upcoming COLA prorated. If you retired in January, your pension will see 11/12ths of the 8.7% or 7.7% increase. Retiring in February would mean 10/12ths of the COLA can be expected, and so on.
