Bill Summary

For legislation relative to retirement allowances of certain married persons. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill allows certain married individuals receiving retirement allowances calculated under Option (c) of Chapter 32 of the general laws to have their retirement allowance recalculated using an updated mortality table, which is a statistical table used to estimate life expectancy. Before this recalculation can happen, the relevant retirement board must adopt the section, and the retirement system must conduct a study to understand the financial impact. If adopted, eligible individuals will be notified and have 180 days to request the recalculation in writing, and any resulting difference in payments can be made retroactively and paid in a lump sum.
