SF 2007: Relating to the bona fide retirement of a teacher under the Iowa public employees’ retirement system

What it does

This bill relates to the bona fide retirement of a 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 the member does not return to any employment with a covered employer until the member has qualified for at least one calendar month of retirement benefits, and 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, neither any employment with a covered employer nor covered employment include employment by a school district as a substitute teacher.
