Bill > S1901

This bill modifies Massachusetts General Laws to enhance creditable service for veterans in public retirement systems. Specifically, the legislation ensures that veterans who are currently members of a retirement system can receive full credit for all previous periods of employment in any governmental unit, regardless of whether their current retirement system is different from their prior employment. This means that veterans will now have their entire prior public sector work history counted towards their retirement benefits, without restrictions on the number of years or limitations based on membership service. The bill removes previous barriers that may have prevented veterans from receiving comprehensive credit for their cumulative public service, thereby providing a more inclusive and supportive retirement system for those who have served in various governmental roles.
