SF 356 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Reemployment earning limit applicable to disability benefit payments increase

This bill (SF 356) increases the reemployment earnings limit for public safety officers (police, firefighters, paramedics) receiving disability benefits under Minnesota's public employee retirement plan. It amends Minnesota Statutes § 353.656, subdivision 4, raising the threshold at which disability benefits are reduced when recipients work part-time. Specifically, the limit is set at 150% of the base monthly salary for similar positions with their employer, meaning officers can earn more before benefits are adjusted. This change directly affects current disability benefit recipients who return to partial work, providing greater financial flexibility.
