Introduced Text

Massachusetts H2911 allows veterans to apply for creditable service in retirement systems at any time.

Massachusetts H2911 amends the state's General Laws to allow veterans in service of a retirement system to apply for creditable service at any time. This change removes previous restrictions on when such applications could be made. The bill also modifies Chapter 71 of the acts of 1996 by removing certain paragraphs related to the application process. This legislation aims to provide greater flexibility for veterans seeking to buy back creditable service for retirement benefits.
