We are forwarding the update below from SUAA. They suggest it may not be necessary to retire now in order to avoid losing significant pension benefits.
The HCAFA Executive Committee
*To the SUAA Membership and Friends!
As most of you know, SUAA filed a motion on Friday, May 2nd for the Court to enter a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction prohibiting the implementation of PA 98-0599 (SB 1).
At this time, we would ask that no one make any decision to retire that is irrevocable (permanent, cannot be over-turned). We will keep you updated on what transpires.
Also, SB 2505 SAM 1 is on the Senate Floor for the third reading scheduled for May 6. If passed, it will go to the House to hopefully be passed as quickly. The language changes the June 30, 2013 date to June 30, 2014 for the purposes of calculating a SURS participant’s retirement annuity. If you want to read the whole amendment click here. The Amendment was filed by Senator Chapin Rose.
Keep watching….
