Announcements

We are pleased to announce that the LACERA Board of Retirement has approved the maximum allowed COLA increase for all plans for 2026.

On February 4, LACERA’s Boards of Retirement and Investments appointed Luis A. Lugo as LACERA’s new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective immediately.

Today we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who envisioned a society where people are valued for their character, not judged by their differences

Every year, LACERA experiences an uptick in retirement applications leading up to March, which we aptly refer to as “March Madness.”

As LACERA heads into the new year, we are proud to share our 2025 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and 2025 Popular Annual Financial Report (PAFR).

We are proud to announce that LACERA’s Division Manager of Disability Retirement Services, Tamara L. Caldwell, has been honored.

Despite efforts to reach a fair agreement, the Alliance of Health Care Unions has begun a strike.

LACERA has been notified by Kaiser Permanente of a potential labor strike involving several Alliance local unions across California, Hawaii, Oregon, and southwest Washington.

The LACERA Elections to elect the Fourth Member of the Board of Investments and the Seventh Member and Alternate Safety Member of the Board of Retirement are closing soon.
