H 2952 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to work hours for state retirees

This bill increases the annual work hour limit for state retirees from 1,200 to 1,400 hours. It directly affects state retirees who continue working part-time after retirement while receiving benefits. The key change modifies two sections of the General Laws (sections 91(b) and 91(c)) to raise the hourly cap, allowing retirees to work more hours before potential benefit adjustments. This is a straightforward policy adjustment without new program requirements or funding changes.
