What’s in it

Current law provides that a member has a bona fide retirement for purposes of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system 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. This bill provides that a member may return to covered employment as school district support staff or a coach for a covered employer after receiving one month of retirement benefits.
