Summary

The State Teachers' Retirement Law authorizes a school district, community college district, or county office of education to grant members of the Defined Benefit Program of the State Teachers' Retirement Plan 2 additional years of service credit if certain conditions are satisfied and the member retires for service within a designated period. Under that law, a member granted additional credit for service under these provisions forfeits that credit if he or she is reemployed within 5 years after retirement by the district from which he or she retired. This bill would provide that a member of the State Teachers' Retirement System who was granted service credit pursuant to the retirement incentive program described above, between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2009, and who returned to work with the employer in violation of the provisions of that program, would not forfeit the benefit related to the service credit if the member ceases work with the employer, as specified, and the member agrees in writing that he or she will not return to work with the employer in violation of the conditions of the program. The bill would require an employer that grants service credit pursuant to that retirement incentive program on and after January 1, 2010, to have the retiring member sign a statement indicating that he or she has read and understood the terms for receiving the service credit, as specified, and would require that a member who violates these terms would forfeit, prospectively, the service credit and benefit resulting from the service credit. The bill would require an employer who grants service credit pursuant to the program to provide a written statement indicating that the employer has read and understands the terms of that program and specifically that the employer will not rehire a member to whom it has granted the service credit until 5 years have elapsed. The bill would provide that an employer who rehires an employee in violation of the terms of the program is responsible for reimbursing the State Teachers' Retirement System all moneys paid to the member as a result of the additional service credit, plus any associated administrative costs, and would provide the employer the option of making these payments over 8 years.
