An Act relative to creditable service for Eileen Mullen, a member of the Massachusetts Teachers’ retirement system

This bill ensures Eileen Mullen, a Massachusetts teacher, receives credit for her 2010-2013 teaching service at Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School toward her retirement benefits. It requires the Massachusetts Teachers’ Retirement Board to count this service time for calculating her retirement allowance, overriding standard rules. Mullen must repay the retirement system for the deductions she would have paid during that period, plus interest, before her retirement benefits take effect. The bill applies solely to Mullen and does not affect her other retirement benefits.
