Agreed. I've been pretty fortunate so far. Being "grandfathered in" on most changes. The supplement has always been on precarious footing. It seems like every administration wants to eliminate it. Some for new employees, some for all employees. Not just the supplement. There's been recent talk of reducing and eliminating the COLA for CSRS and FERS retirees. Also lowering the rate of return on the G fund. A lot of people I've worked with have believed that "they earned it, they can't take it away". Oh yes they can. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Nothing is guaranteed to last forever.

Interesting. Seeing it again jogs my memory. I think I knew this once but forgot. Thanks for refreshing me.
