Bill Summary
Virginia Retirement System; return to work; break in service. Reduces from six months to one month the length of the required break in service after retirement for a teacher before such person may return to work full time and continue to receive his pension under the Virginia Retirement System.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) rules for retired teachers returning to work, specifically concerning the "break in service" requirement. Previously, a teacher who retired and wanted to return to full-time work while continuing to receive their pension from the VRS had to wait at least six months after retiring. This bill reduces that mandatory waiting period to just one month for teachers who are hired by a local public school board as an instructional or administrative employee requiring a license from the Board of Education. This change aims to make it easier for retired teachers to re-enter the workforce and address potential teacher shortages.
