One-time boost for Oklahoma public employee retirees

Beginning November 1, 2026, the law authorizes a one-time Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) benefit increase. Eligibility requires receiving benefits on June 30, 2026, and continuing to receive them on or after November 1, 2026. Based on years retired as of June 30, 2026, the payment equals 3% of gross annual benefits for 10–19 years, or 6% for 20 or more years. Retirees with fewer than 10 years receive no increase. Payment depends on the system meeting funded-ratio requirements and does not permanently raise annual benefits.
