Bill Summary

For legislation to increase the cap on outside income for public pension recipients. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill modifies Section 91A of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws by increasing the cap on outside income that public pension recipients can earn from $15,000 to $65,000. In practical terms, this means that retired public employees who receive a pension will now be able to earn up to $65,000 from additional work or employment without facing penalties or restrictions on their pension benefits. This change could provide more financial flexibility for retirees who wish to continue working part-time or pursue additional employment opportunities after retiring from their primary public service career, potentially helping to supplement their retirement income or maintain professional engagement.
