Bill > HB216

This bill removes a one-year limit on how much time an injured worker can count towards their retirement benefits if they are receiving workers' compensation payments due to an injury sustained while on the job. Previously, workers could only get credit for up to one year of this disability period, but this bill allows them to receive creditable service for the entire duration of their weekly workers' compensation award, provided they submit documentation to the board of trustees verifying their disability payments. This change is intended to ensure that workers who are injured and unable to work receive full credit for their service towards their retirement, regardless of how long their recovery and compensation period lasts.
