Bill > SF3493

This bill addresses a specific retirement case involving Alaine Pappin, an employee of Independent School District No. 281 in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, and retroactively corrects an issue with unreported public employee service prior to July 1, 1989. The bill requires both Pappin and the school district to make pension contributions for previously unrecorded service, even though Pappin was not originally enrolled in a public pension plan at the time. These contributions will be calculated by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) based on an omitted salary of $3,185 and will include interest. The bill enables Pappin to retroactively establish membership in a public pension fund and become eligible for an unreduced early retirement benefit. This provision allows for correction of administrative oversights in public employee pension records, ensuring that employees can receive proper credit for their work history and associated retirement benefits. The bill becomes effective the day after it is finally enacted.
