Bill Summary

For legislation to establish a study on alternative retirement benefits of public employees. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a study to be conducted by the Massachusetts State Retirement Board on alternative retirement benefits for public employees who are subject to the federal Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions can reduce the Social Security benefits of public employees. The study will identify existing alternative public and private retirement programs and resources in the Commonwealth, as well as barriers to accessing them. The study will make recommendations to improve access to these programs, enhance existing programs, and establish new programs and policies to ensure public employees and their spouses and beneficiaries have sufficient retirement resources to compensate for the loss of Social Security benefits due to WEP and GPO.
