Bill Summary

Relative to ordinary disability public employee retirement. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing law on ordinary disability public employee retirement in Massachusetts. It adds a new paragraph that allows retirement systems to accept a provision that sets the minimum monthly pension payments for members retired under this section to be no less than the monthly payment to a disabled individual under the state supplemental security income program. The acceptance of this provision requires a majority vote of the retirement system's board, subject to the approval of the local legislative body. The state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have already accepted this provision.
