S 1725 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to veterans creditable service

This bill allows Massachusetts veterans who are currently working for a state retirement system to receive full credit for their previous government employment when calculating their retirement benefits. It ensures that time spent in prior public service counts toward retirement eligibility regardless of whether the current and previous employers belong to the same retirement system. The legislation removes restrictions that previously limited how much past government work could be credited based on the number of years a veteran had already served in their current role.
