Bill > H1355

This bill amends the Massachusetts state law governing public employee disability retirement benefits. The key provision is that upon acceptance by a retirement system, monthly payments to a member retired due to disability must be at least equal to the monthly payment a disabled individual would receive under the state's supplemental security income program. The bill outlines the process for a retirement system to accept this provision, which involves a majority vote of the system's board and approval from the relevant legislative body (e.g., city council, board of selectmen). The state teachers' and state employees' retirement systems are deemed to have already accepted this provision.
