39.6 Cost-of-Living Adjustment

To calculate the COLA disregard amount, do the following: 

  1. Find the AG 's current gross OASDI Benefits income. The gross OASDI income is the sum of the following:
    • OASDI check.
    • Any amount that has been withheld for a Medicare premium.
    • Any amount withheld to repay an earlier overpayment.

 

Do not include in the gross income any Medicare Plan B premiums that the state has purchased for the AG.

 

  1. On the COLA Disregard Amount Table below, find the last month in which the person was eligible for and received a check for both OASDI and SSI .
  2. Find the decimal figure that applies to this month.
  3. Multiply the person's current gross OASDI income by the applicable decimal figure. The result is the COLA disregard amount.
