Bill > S1897

This bill amends a section of Massachusetts law related to retirement compensation for veterans who have also served on the State Staff. Specifically, the bill allows veterans who have served on the State Staff for the previous three years to make up payments for wages that were previously classified as housing or subsistence allowances and were not included in their original compensation calculations. Under this provision, veterans can retroactively contribute an amount equal to ten percent of their housing or subsistence allowance for each year of creditable service, which will then be factored into their retirement compensation calculations. The bill aims to provide veterans with a more comprehensive method of calculating their retirement benefits by allowing them to account for previously excluded forms of compensation, potentially increasing their overall retirement earnings.
