Iowa HF2321 classifies certain social workers as protection occupation members in the Iowa public employees' retirement system.

Iowa HF2321 amends the Iowa public employees' retirement system to include social workers employed by the Department of Health and Human Services who conduct child protective assessments and family assessments. These social workers must meet specific criteria, such as conducting assessments, coordinating emergency removal or placement of children, and performing duties that regularly involve heightened risk. The bill also reclassifies their prior service as protection occupation service without requiring additional contributions.
