H 2660 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to capping earning in retirement

This bill proposes to amend Massachusetts law to remove a specific cap on how much money retired public employees can earn from outside work. The change would allow pensioners to take on additional jobs without their outside earnings being limited by the current annual limit. Directly affected individuals are retired public servants in the state who wish to work while collecting their pensions. By deleting the phrase that sets this limit, the legislation removes a restriction on their ability to earn extra income after retirement.
