Massachusetts S1903 amends disability retiree restoration to service provisions, allowing evaluation for different positions and crediting prior.

Massachusetts S1903 modifies the rules for disability retirees seeking restoration to service. It allows retirees to be evaluated for positions other than their former ones and provides credit for prior disability service if they return to a different retirement system. If a retiree is found capable of performing essential duties in a new position, their pension will cease upon their return to service. The bill also ensures that if a retiree is later disabled again due to the same injury, the original retirement system will recognize their prior disability service.
