Bill > H2938

This bill modifies Section 4 of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws to expand creditable service time for veterans and Massachusetts National Guard members in the state employees' retirement system. Currently, veterans who serve in the United States armed forces are entitled to receive creditable service time for their active military service. The proposed change would additionally allow members of the Massachusetts National Guard who are part of the state employees' retirement system to receive creditable service time for both their armed services and National Guard service. This means that state employees who have served in the Massachusetts National Guard will now be able to count their Guard service towards their retirement benefits, potentially allowing them to retire earlier or receive enhanced retirement benefits. The bill aims to provide additional recognition and support for public servants who have dedicated time to military service at both the national and state levels.
