Bill Summary

Relative to creditable service for certain state contract employees. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill would allow members of the Massachusetts State Employees' Retirement System who previously worked as contract employees for the state to establish up to 10 years of creditable service, provided they have at least 10 years of creditable service with the state retirement system and the job duties of the contract position were substantially similar to their current state employment. The member would need to pay the required contributions, plus interest, into the Retirement System's Annuity Savings Fund to receive the creditable service. This change aims to recognize the prior service of certain state contract workers and provide them with additional retirement benefits.
