Establishes eligibility for PERS enrollment and retirement benefits for certain county fire instructors under certain conditions.
This bill allows certain county fire instructors to qualify for New Jersey's Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) benefits. It applies to instructors who were enrolled in PERS before November 1, 2008, worked as county fire instructors continuously each year, earned over $1,500 annually, and held permanent civil service status. The bill grants them retroactive service credit for their employment and reinstates eligibility for retirement benefits. Additionally, it permits individuals whose PERS membership was terminated within two years before the bill's effective date to rejoin by repaying any returned contributions and interest.
