of age, whichever is later, or when he would have been retired for one (1) year or <br>attained forty-seven (47) years of age in the event the member is deceased, the <br>board shall increase his retirement annuity or the annuity paid to his widow or <br>dependent children by not less than two percent (2%) nor more than five percent <br>(5%) per year, compounded annually; and such increase shall be determined and <br>granted annually thereafter by the board.
(2) Beginning July 1, 2001, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, any
member, retired under occupational disability, as provided in KRS 67A.460, or <br>nonoccupational disability shall be entitled to an increase in his or her annuity, or in <br>the event of death the annuity paid to his or her spouse or dependent, after he or she <br>has been retired one (1) year regardless of age or date of retirement. The amount of <br>the annual increase shall be the same as described in subsection (1) of this section, <br>compounded annually, and the increase shall be determined and granted annually <br>thereafter by the board. For a member retired on occupational disability for a length <br>of time in excess of one (1) year prior to June 21, 2001, the board shall increase the <br>member's annuity as described in this paragraph, on July 1, 2001, and each July 1 <br>thereafter.

In the case of retirement under <br>disability, no age or length of retirement criteria shall apply.
(b) After calculation of the new annuity level, members of age forty-seven (47) or
more affected by this subsection, or survivors of a member who would have <br>been forty-seven (47) or more in the event the member is deceased, shall be <br>granted the same annual increase granted to retirees who retired July 15, 1980, <br>or thereafter, pursuant to subsection (1) of this section, and the annuity on <br>which this cost-of-living increment is based shall be the annuity level reached <br>through the addition of annual compounded increases calculated pursuant to <br>paragraph (a) of this subsection, but not less than the annuity level in effect <br>prior to July 15, 1990. If the member has not attained the age of forty-seven <br>(47) or would not have attained the age of forty-seven (47) in the event the
member is deceased, then the member or survivor shall receive increases of <br>two percent (2%) compounded annually until the member attains or would <br>have attained age forty-seven (47), at which time the same annual increase <br>granted to retirees who retired July 15, 1980, or thereafter shall apply.
(4) The provisions of subsection (3) of this section shall not apply to any retiree or
surviving spouse who receives a minimum retirement annuity, annually adjusted, <br>pursuant to KRS 67A.430. If, in the future, any retiree or spouse annuity granted <br>pursuant to this section falls below the adjusted minimum annuity, the affected <br>retiree or spouse shall be granted, from that time forward, the adjusted minimum <br>annuity calculated pursuant to KRS 67A.430.
