House Engrossed
Overview
Modifies the time period by which certain provisions apply to a Public Safety Personnel
Retirement System (PSPRS) or Corrections Officer Retirement Plan (CORP) member who retires
and becomes reemployed by the same employer.
History
Statute outlines various scenarios that apply for a retired PSPRS and CORP member who
becomes reemployed in any capacity by the employer from which the member retired before 12
months after the date of retirement or in the same position at any time following retirement. For
example, any pension payments that are received by the retired member, who retired on or after
July 1, 2009, during the period of reemployment are considered overpayments. If the board
determines that the retired member's reemployment during the 12-month period and the failure of
the employer to suspend the member's pension were not intentional to circumvent the
requirements, the pension payments received are subject to repayment. The pension payments
received after the retired member’s reemployment are subject to repayment up to only the amount
received between the reemployment date and the expiration of the 12-month period. (A.R.S. §§
38-849, 38-884).
Provisions
1. Stipulates that a retired member may become employed by the same employer from which
the employee retired in a designated position and continue to receive a pension if the
employment occurs at least six months, rather than 12 months, after retirement. (Sec. 1, 2)
2. Specifies that certain overpayments after becoming reemployed do not apply if the retired
PSPRS member has a prearranged reemployment agreement with the employer. (Sec. 1)
3. Makes technical and conforming changes. (Sec. 1, 2)
