HF 663: Relating to the bona fide retirement of a substitute teacher under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system

Died when the session ended · The 2022 session adjourned on May 24, 2022, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

This bill relates to the bona fide retirement of a substitute teacher under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS). Current law provides that a member has a bona fide retirement for purposes of IPERS when, among other things, the member does not return to covered employment until the member has qualified for no fewer than four calendar months of retirement benefits. The bill establishes that, for purposes of this provision, covered employment does not include employment as a substitute teacher. The bill does not modify the requirement that the member not return to any employment with a covered employer until the member has qualified for at least one calendar month of retirement benefits.
