For legislation relative to the retroactive application of veterans creditable service. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill amends the General Laws to provide retroactive additional yearly allowance as a veteran to members who retired before the effective date of Chapter 116 of the Acts of 2004, which expanded the definition of "veteran" for retirement purposes. The bill requires acceptance of this provision by a majority vote of the retirement system's board, subject to approval of the legislative body. The state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have accepted the provision. The provisions of the bill are prospective from the date of acceptance and do not entitle members to any retroactive benefits.
