Vermont S0092 extends the provision allowing retired educators to resume service as interim educators and continue receiving retirement allowances.

Vermont S0092 amends the Vermont State Teachers’ Retirement System to allow beneficiaries who retired as Group A or Group C members to resume service as interim educators for up to one school year. These educators can receive their retirement allowance for the entire period of resumed service. The bill specifies that the employer must certify that all reasonable options to employ a qualified active educator were exhausted before hiring a beneficiary as an interim educator. The State Treasurer is authorized to grant renewals for this authority from fiscal years 2024 through 2030.
