H 2977 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to creditable service for Wendy Lopriore, a member of the Massachusetts teachers' retirement system

This bill directly affects Wendy Lopriore, a Massachusetts teachers' retirement system member, by requiring the retirement system to count her teaching service at Bristol Community College (July 1995-August 1997) toward her retirement benefits. It mandates that she repay the retirement deductions she would have paid during that period, plus interest, before her retirement allowance becomes effective. The bill specifically modifies how her past service is calculated for her superannuation retirement allowance under state law. This is a personal, non-general policy adjustment for one individual’s retirement benefits.
