Bill > S2518

This bill authorizes the Massachusetts state employees' retirement system to grant Roberta Wollons creditable service for her work at Indiana University Northwest from January 1, 1995 to August 1, 2006, which will be used in calculating her superannuation retirement allowance. To receive this additional creditable service, Wollons must pay back the retirement system the amount of money that would have been withheld as regular deductions during that period, plus interest. This payment can be made in a single sum or in installments, with the specific terms to be determined by the state board of retirement. The bill provides a special exception to existing laws and regulations to allow this retroactive service credit, and it will take effect immediately upon passage. The legislation is essentially a targeted measure to help an individual state employee receive full credit for previous work experience when calculating her retirement benefits.
