Bill > S2577

This bill seeks to grant Ann Marie O'Keeffe, a professional status teacher, 33 years of credible service for her retirement through the Massachusetts Teachers Retirement System (MTRS). It requires O'Keeffe to make lump sum or installment contributions to the MTRS to qualify for the RetirementPlus benefits outlined in Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws. The bill ensures that the retirement process with RetirementPlus becomes effective on April 1, 2024, and prevents any court order or administrative hearing from delaying it or preventing O'Keeffe from qualifying for the superannuation or Teachers Alternate Retirement Program (TARP) of her pension benefit. The MTRS pension benefit will be calculated dynamically and paid to her monthly, with the initial payment due in June.
