What’s in it
AI summary Currently, the state must send a letter to public employees when they leave their jobs to tell them how much money is in their retirement accounts. This bill would stop that requirement so the retirement system no longer has to send those notices.1
Read the official explanation
This bill repeals the Iowa public employees’ retirement system’s obligation to, upon a member’s termination of covered employment prior to the member’s retirement, send to the member’s last known address a notice that contains the balance and status of the member’s accounts and explains the member’s possible courses of action under Code chapter 97B.
Why it matters. Public employees who leave their jobs before retirement will no longer receive a notice at their last known address regarding their account balances, status, or available options. This change affects the Iowa public employees’ retirement system by removing its requirement to send these specific notifications to former members.2
