Bill > H7801

This bill increases the number of days a retired municipal employee can work in a calendar year without their pension benefits being interrupted from seventy-five (75) days to ninety (90) days, or its equivalent of six hundred thirty (630) hours. This change applies to retired members of the system, meaning those who have already retired from municipal service and are receiving pension payments. The bill clarifies that if a retired employee works beyond this new ninety-day limit, their pension payments will be suspended, and they will not earn additional pension credit or be required to make contributions for that extra service, though there are exceptions for elected officials like city or town council members and school committee members. This legislation is intended to provide greater flexibility for retired municipal employees who wish to return to work on a part-time basis.
