IMPORTANT: Chained CPI and Potential Impacts

The current CPI does not keep adequate pace with inflation and puts all recipients behind the power curve, as anyone who receives benefits can attest, against actual inflation.  Our affiliate, TSCL, has taken and will continue to take a stand regarding CPI computations and most significantly this current methodology. TREA cosigned a letter (with several other organizations) that was sent to Congress opposing the proposal to substitute a chained CPI calculation. This could have significant potential reductions in benefits especially over the long term.
