Dear AFICS/NY Members,

I am pleased to inform you that the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund (UNJSPF) has announced that, in accordance with the provisions of the UNJSPF Pension Adjustment System and based on consumer price index data published by the UN Statistics Division, there will be a 2.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to the US dollar track with respect to periodic benefits. The increase will be effective 1 April 2026, and the initial month’s COLA adjustment will be reflected in April pension benefits, payable in arrears at the end of the month.

Further information is available on the UNJSPF’s website: https://www.unjspf.org/newsroom/retirees-and-beneficiaries-cost-of-living-adjustment-to-the-us-dollar-track-in-april-2026/
