Bill > SB1141

This bill, by amending existing Pennsylvania law, increases the maximum amount of military service that can be credited towards retirement benefits from five years to ten years for both public school employees and state employees. Specifically, it modifies provisions related to "creditable nonschool service" in Title 24 (Education) and "creditable nonstate service" in Title 71 (State Government) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes. The changes allow members to purchase up to ten years of military service, including other forms of military service beyond intervening or activated service, provided that the total military service purchased across both retirement systems (Public School Employees' Retirement System and State Employees' Retirement System) does not exceed ten years. This aims to provide greater recognition for military service in retirement calculations.
