Chair Ballard introduces bill to align OSERS payment and COLA dates with school plan LB1102 would change how the Omaha School Employees Retirement System (OSERS) calculates and pays COLAs and monthly annuities—moving COLA calculations to Sept. 1 and payments to the last business day of September, setting monthly annuity payments to the last business day, and aligning the retirement-date definition with the school plan; proponents said the bill corrects a 2025 delay and improves administration.

Nebraska's LB1102 aims to streamline the Omaha School Employees Retirement System, eliminating a costly delay in benefit payments and aligning with state policies for better retiree support.
