Bill Summary
For legislation relative to veteran creditable service for certain public retirees. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill allows certain public retirees who are veterans to receive additional creditable service for their time in the armed services, including National Guard and Active Reserve service. Specifically, it allows veterans who retired before 1996 to receive up to 4 years of additional creditable service, as long as they did not already receive credit for that service. The bill requires acceptance by a majority vote of the retirement system's board, subject to approval by the legislative body (e.g., city council, town meeting). The provisions of the bill are prospective from the date of acceptance, so veterans cannot receive retroactive benefits before applying for the additional service credit.
