Can I get a Cost Of Living increase in my benefits?

COLA - You are eligible for a COLA increase if you are collecting benefits under MGL c. 152 § 34A (permanent and total disability), and your injury was more than two years ago, or if you were injured prior to December 23, 1991, and you are collecting partial disability benefits (§ 35). You are not eligible if you are collecting under § 34 (temporary total disability). You need not apply for these benefits, they should be paid automatically if you are eligible. The amount of the increase is determined annually by the DIA, and go into effect on October 1st of each year. These increases will be paid to the extent that they do not reduce benefits being paid under federal social security disability.
