Bill > H2928

This bill proposes to amend the retirement benefits for specific employees of the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) who have worked in certain roles for 10 years or more. The affected positions include social workers (at levels A/B, C, and D), special investigators (levels A/B), case reviewers, human service assistants, and human service coordinators, as well as any equivalent or successor job titles. By adding these job classifications to the existing retirement benefits law, the bill aims to provide enhanced retirement options for long-term DCF employees in frontline and support roles. The modification would be made to Section 3 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which governs public employee retirement benefits. The proposed change recognizes the challenging and critical nature of work in child welfare by offering these employees potentially more favorable retirement terms after a decade of service.
