Public employees police and fire retirement plan; reemployment earnings limit applicable to disability benefit payments increased.

HF 3256 increases the earnings limit for police, firefighters, and paramedics receiving disability benefits under Minnesota's public employees retirement plan. The bill raises the threshold from 125% to 150% of the base monthly salary for comparable positions. This means eligible public safety workers can earn more while working part-time or in other jobs before their disability benefits are reduced. The change applies to members who began disability payments on or after July 1, 2023, and modifies how benefits are adjusted when reemployment earnings exceed the new limit. It directly affects current disability benefit recipients in these professions who return to work.
