Bill Summary

For legislation relative to ordinary disability retirements. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill amends the General Laws of Massachusetts to require that payments to members who have retired under the ordinary disability retirement provisions be no less than the monthly payment to a disabled individual with the same marital status and living situation under the state supplemental security income program. The bill allows retirement systems to accept this provision by a majority vote of their board, subject to the approval of the legislative body, which is defined based on the type of retirement system. The state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have already accepted this provision.
