Bill > HB37

This bill requires local school systems in Georgia to provide specific notifications to employees regarding their social security and benefits status. When hiring new employees starting July 1, 2025, school systems must inform them about whether social security taxes will be withheld from their pay, their eligibility for Social Security Act benefits, and their eligibility for pension or retirement plans. Additionally, by December 31, 2025, and every five years thereafter, local school systems must provide current employees with the same type of notification. The bill also mandates that when an employee separates from their job, the school system must notify them about whether social security taxes were withheld during their employment. The bill also modifies an existing provision related to local board of education members' health insurance, removing language about the board paying for family members' insurance costs. These changes aim to increase transparency and ensure employees are informed about their social security and benefits status throughout their employment with local school systems.
