Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. §1. That the Virginia Retirement System shall, for all Virginia Retirement System retirees who retired prior to January 1, 1994, and who selected the social security option, re-compute and increase the basic benefit which is calculated when the retiree reaches age sixty-five by the total annual cost-of-living adjustments received by the retiree under the Virginia Retirement System from the date the retiree began receiving benefits until the retiree reaches age sixty-five.

For those retirees who have already reached age sixty-five, the Virginia Retirement System shall make a lump sum payment for payments the retiree is eligible to receive as a result of this act.
