Bill > H3686

This bill allows veterans who retired prior to July 24, 1996 from a Massachusetts retirement system to receive credit for up to four years of active military service, provided they have not already received credit for that service under another law. The bill also allows National Guard and Active Reserve personnel who are veterans to apply their guard or reserve service towards their retirement on a 5-to-1 ratio (5 years of guard/reserve service equals 1 year of active service). The bill requires local legislative bodies to vote to accept these provisions for their retirement systems, and the state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have already accepted the provisions.
