A 656 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows consideration of purchased PERS credit for federal service abroad in Central Intelligence Agency to qualify for employer-provided health care benefits in retirement.

This bill amends New Jersey's public employee retirement rules to allow certain purchased retirement credit to count toward qualifying for employer-provided health care benefits after retirement. Specifically, it adds an exception for service with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) abroad - where employees previously bought retirement credit but couldn't use it for health benefits. The change applies only to credit purchased after November 1, 2008, for CIA service outside the U.S., which was previously excluded under the same law. It directly affects New Jersey public employees who served in the CIA overseas and purchased retirement credit through the state's system.
