Bill > S1630

This bill amends the state's General Laws to provide a minimum monthly payment for members who have retired under the ordinary disability retirement provisions. The new paragraph allows retirement systems to accept this change, which would set the minimum payment at the same level as the state supplemental security income program for disabled individuals with the same marital status. The acceptance of this provision requires a majority vote of the retirement system's board and approval from the legislative body, which is defined based on the type of retirement system (e.g., city council, town meeting, county retirement board advisory council). The state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have already accepted this change.
