An Act relative to veterans' buyback

HD 1023 amends state retirement laws to help veterans count military service toward their retirement benefits. It requires veterans to notify the retirement board upon entering military service and to complete the purchase of military service credit within one year of becoming vested. Veterans who missed the original 180-day window for this purchase can now apply within one year of the bill's effective date. Retirement systems must provide written notice about this opportunity to eligible members within 90 days of the bill taking effect.
