We encourage you to contact ALL Indiana legislators if you have not already done so. Stress the specific HARDSHIPS you are experiencing, such as increased food, medicine, gasoline, heating and other costs. Emphasize that Indiana retired teachers have received either a COLA or One Time Payment (13th check) EVERY YEAR for the last 28 years. Please be courteous, civil, and firm.
You can find email addresses, mailing addresses and phone numbers of your state legislators here: http://ai.org/legislative/2345.htm
The proposed AMOUNTS of the One-Time Payment may be found here: http://in.gov/legislative/bills/2011/PDF/HAMF/MO1001465.148.pdf
Please ask your legislators to ADD THE ONE-TIME PAYMENT language into HB 1001 (Budget Bill) or another bill.
Thank you for your support!
