Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association

The Board adopts regulations, procedures, policies and resolutions as permitted by and amended in the CERL.

The Retirement Board is responsible for general management of CCCERA while a Chief Executive Officer oversees the operations of the Association.

The CAFR also includes an Independent Auditor’s Report focusing on CCCERA’s financial statements.

Rather, a fixed formula, stipulated by the 1937 Act, determines members’ future retirement allowances.

Retired members are entitled to an annual cost of living (COLA) increase, granted by the board, effective April 1 of each year.

This benefit is based on the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area Consumer Price Index and may range up to between 2% and 4%.

The stipulations of OPEB may be modified, altered or terminated at any time and for any reason as provided in the plan documents.

[4] CCCERA has reciprocity with 19 other 1937 Act counties as well as CalPERS (California Public Employees Retirement System).
