S.1921

Relative to retirement equity for parenting teachers

Introduced·2/27/25
Introduced Text

Massachusetts S1921 amends retirement benefits for teachers who took part-time employment after 20 years of service.

Massachusetts S1921 amends the state's General Laws to allow public school teachers who have completed at least 20 years of service to receive creditable service for part-time employment as a teacher. This credit applies to the teacher's superannuation retirement allowance and is determined on a proportionate basis by the retirement board. The board can credit up to 5 years of part-time service as full-time service. This change aims to provide retirement equity for parenting teachers who took part-time employment.
