Bill > H2806

This bill provides a specific retirement service credit exception for Lynn Turner, a member of the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement System. The bill allows Turner to receive creditable service for her work as a teacher at the Horace Mann Public Charter School in Barnstable from November 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010, which will be used in calculating her superannuation retirement allowance. To receive this credit, Turner must pay back the retirement system the amount of money that would have been withheld as regular deductions from her compensation during that period, plus buyback interest as defined in the state retirement laws. The bill specifically notes that this service credit will not impact any other retirement benefits Turner might be entitled to, and it will take effect immediately upon passage. This appears to be a special legislative provision designed to help Turner receive full retirement credit for a specific period of teaching service that might not have been automatically included in her retirement calculation.
