Bill Information
Current Law
Current law suspends the benefits of a reemployed retired member of the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL).
There are exceptions for retirees who are reemployed in a Reemployment-Eligible critical shortage position which is defined as:
1. A position for a full- time or part-time classroom teacher who teaches any student in kindergarten through twelfth grade in a
school where a critical shortage exists;
2. A position for a full-time certified speech therapist, speech pathologist, audiologist, educational diagnostician, school social
worker, school counselor, or school psychologist whose position of employment requires a valid Louisiana ancillary
certificate approved and issued by the State Department of Education in a school district where a critical shortage exists.
Benefits payable to a retiree reemployed in a Reemployment-Eligible critical shortage position are subject to the following
suspension of benefit rules.
1. If a retiree is reemployed in a Reemployment-Eligible critical shortage position before the first anniversary (third anniversary
if he retired with a reduced benefit) of his original date of retirement, the retiree’s benefit will be suspended un til the earlier
of the date he terminates reemployment and the first anniversary date (third anniversary date if he retired with a reduced
benefit) of his original retirement. The retiree’s income from reemployment is unlimited.
2. If a retiree is reemployed in a critical shortage position thereafter, the retiree may continue to work in the Reemployment-
Eligible position and earn an unlimited income from employment. He will also receive his full pension benefit as long as the 2018 REGULAR SESSION
ACTUARIAL NOTE HB 14
Page 2 of 8
Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the board of trustees of TRSL have received certification that a critical
shortage exists.
3. The employing school board must recertify annually to the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and the TRSL
board of trustees that a critical shortage continues to exist.
Proposed Law
HB 14 adds the positions of interpreter, educational transliterator, and e ducator of the hearing impaired to the list of
Reemployment-Eligible critical shortage positions.
Implications of the Proposed Changes
HB 14 permits a retired member of TRSL to return to work as an interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing
impaired, and to continue to receive his retirement benefit under certain circumstances. Under current law, pension benefits of a
person in any of these positions are suspended if he is reemployed in a position covered by TRSL.
Proposed law does not change current law with regard to reemployment before the first anniversary (third anniversary if he retired
with a reduced benefit) of his original date of retirement. The reemployed retiree’s pension benefit will be suspended until the
earlier of the date he terminates reemployment and the first anniversary date (third anniversary date if he retired with a reduce
benefit) of his original retirement.
Thereafter, he may receive his annual pension benefit (assuming the critical shortage position is certified on an annual basis) in
addition to his employment earnings.
I. ACTUARIAL ANALYSIS SECTION
A. Analysis of Actuarial Costs
(Prepared by the LLA)
This section of the actuarial note pertains to actuarial costs or savings associated with the retirement systems , with OPEB, and
with other government entities.
1. Retirement Systems
a. Category A: Retired interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired is already reemployed
An interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired has been retired for a year or more and has
already returned to work in a critical shortage situation on a full time basis.
Example
1). An interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired who did not retire with a reduced
benefit has been retired for more than one year.
2). He has already been reemployed.
3). His salary is $48,000 a year.
4). His unsuspended pension benefit is $30,000 a year. His benefit is suspended under current law and he is
receiving $0.
Benefits Payable by TRSL under Current Law
HB 14 is not enacted and he continues to be reemployed and earn a salary of $48,000 per year. His pension from TRSL
continues to be suspended and he continues to receive $0 from TRSL for as long as he is reemployed.
Because an interpreter, an educational transliterator, or an educator of the hearing impaired is not considered to be a
“retired teacher” under current law, neither the reemployed retiree nor his employer will make contributions to the
system, and the reemployed retiree will not accrue additional retirement benefits.
Benefits Payable by TRSL under HB 14
HB 14 is enacted and the retiree continues to be reemployed and earn a salary of $48,000 per year. He will also be
eligible to receive his $30,000 annual pension. He will continue to receive both his pension and his employment income
for as long as he is reemployed and the critical shortage is certified annually.
Because he is considered to be a “retired teacher”, the reemployed retiree and his employer will make contributions to
the system, but the re-employed retiree will not accrue additional retirement benefits. Upon subsequent termination of
employment, the reemployed retiree will receive a refund of his contributions without interest. Employer contributions
will remain with the retirement system. 2018 REGULAR SESSION
ACTUARIAL NOTE HB 14
Page 3 of 8
Conclusion
TRSL’s pension expenditures will increase $30,000 a year with the enactment of HB 31. The system will collect
contributions from both the school and the reemployed retiree, with employee contributions being refunded when the
reemployed retiree leaves active employment.
b. Category B: Retired interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired is induced to b ecome
reemployed as a r esult of the e nactment of HB 14
An interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired has been retired for a year or more. He
misses employment in the K-12 environment. The primary reason he does not become reemployed is that his pension
from TRSL will be completely suspended. However, if HB 14 is enacted, the combination of his salary from
employment plus his pension from TRSL may be enough to entice him to return to work.
Example
1). An interpreter, educational transliterator, or educator of the hearing impaired has been retired for more than one
year.
2). His unsuspended pension benefit is $30,000 a year.
3). His annual salary if he is reemployed will be $ 48,000.
4). He currently does not expect to return to employment.
5). He will seek reemployment if HB 14 is enacted.
Benefits Payable from TRSL under Current Law
HB 14 is not enacted. He will remain retired rather than becoming reemployed. He will receive no reemployment
income. He will continue to collect a pension of $30,000 per year from TRSL. Obviously, no employee or employer
contributions are payable to TRSL and the retiree does not accrue any additional benefits.
Benefits Payable from TRSL under HB 14
HB 14 is enacted and the retiree becomes reemployed in a critical shortage situation on a full time basis. His annual
income from employment will be $48,000. TRSL will pay the reemployed retiree $30,000 a year in pension benefits.
This amount will be paid to the reemployed retiree for as long as the critical shortage is certified annually.
With the enactment of HB 14 , the reemployed retiree becomes a “retired teacher”. The reemployed retiree and his
employer will contribute to the system; however the retiree will not accrue additional retirement benefits and his
contributions will be refunded without interest when he terminates active service. E mployer contributions will remain in
the system.
Conclusion
TRSL’s pension expenditures will remain at $30,000 a year with the enactment of HB 14. The system will collect
contributions from both the school and the reemployed retiree, with employee contributions being refunded when the
reemployed retiree leaves active employment.
c. Statistical analysis
The cost of HB 14 depends on the number of retired interpreters, educational transliterators, and educators of the hearing
impaired in Categories A and B. HB 14 will have an actuarial cost if the re are any reemployed retired interpreters,
educational transliterators, and educators of the hearing impaired currently in Category A. There is an actuarial cost
because, in our opinion, there will be reemployed interpreters, educational transliterators, and educators of the hearing
impaired who will continue to be reemployed for more than one year and become allowed to commence their pension
while still reemployed.
The actuarial present value cost will be moderately large relative to the salary paid to the re- employed retiree. However,
the actuarial present value cost will be small relative to the total actuarial present value for all actively employed
members of TRSL
d. Words of caution
We were unable to develop a more precise conclusion about costs or savings associated with HB 14 because we could
not obtain critical information. The following data would have been useful to us.
1). The number of positions for interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired in the
state of Louisiana.
2). The number of vacant positions for interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing
impaired. 2018 REGULAR SESSION
ACTUARIAL NOTE HB 14

3). The number of positions for interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired that
are being filled by TRSL retirees.
4). The number of retired interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired in total, and
the number who are between the ages of 60 and 70.
5). A spreadsheet showing the number of active interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing
impaired by age and service, with the total salary being received by those in each cell.
6). A spreadsheet showing the number of retired interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing
impaired by age and working status (either working or not working) along with the total pension benefit being
paid by TRSL to interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired in each cell.
2. Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB)
The actuarial cost or savings of HB 14 associated with OPEB, including retiree health insurance premiums, is estimated to be
negligible. Our analysis is summarized below.
When a retired TRSL member returns to active employment with coverage for health insurance, he is no longer receiving
other post-employment benefits. Therefore, the OPEB costs and liabilities are decreased to reflect the time he will be
expected to remain employed until his subsequent second retirement. However, the post-employment benefit decrease is
approximately offset by a comparable increase in benefits while the reemployed retiree is in active employment.
The liability for post- retirement medical insurance protection provided to members by the Office of Group Benefits or the
Louisiana State University health program remains approximately the same regardless of whether a TRSL retiree is
reemployed or remains in retired status. The liability is based on the present value of estimated claims and the estimated
claims will not change just because the member’s status has changed from retiree to employee.
However, depending on the respective rules, the allocation of premiums between the employee and the employer may change
slightly (but not materially) as an employee moves from a retired status to an active reemployed status. Therefore:
a. OGB or LSU revenues may increase slightly or decrease slightly as a result of HB 14.
b. Employer premium expenditures may increase slightly or decrease slightly as a result of HB 14.
3. Other Government Entities
The actuarial cost or savings of HB 14 associated with government entities other than those identified in HB 14, is estimated
to be $0 .
B. Actuarial Data, Methods and Assumptions
(Prepared by the LLA)
Unless indicated otherwise, the actuarial note for HB 14 was prepared using actuarial data, methods, and assumptions as disclosed
in the most recent actuarial valuation report adopted by PRSAC. The data, methods and assumptions are being used to provide
consistency with the actuary for the retirement system who may also be providing testimony to the Senate and House retirement
committees.
C. Actuarial Caveat
(Prepared by the LLA)
There is nothing in H B 14 that will compromise the signing actuary’s ability to present an unbiased statement of actuarial opinion.
II. FISCAL ANALYSIS SECTION
Tables A, B, C, and D have been prepared by the LLA. These tables include information developed by the LLA from its own sources
as well as information supplied by Tanesha Morgan of the Legislative Fiscal Office (LFO). Table D includes all costs and savings

A. Estimated Fiscal Impact – Retirement Systems
(Prepared by the LLA using information supplied by the LFO)
1. Narrative
Table A shows the estimated fiscal impact of the proposed legislation on the retirement systems and the government entities
that sponsor them. Fiscal costs and savings include both administrative and actuarial costs and savings. A fiscal cost is
denoted by “Increase” or a positive number. Fiscal savings are denoted by “Decrease” or a negative number. A revenue
increase is denoted by “Increase” or a positive number. A revenue decrease is denoted by “Decrease” or a negative number.

Annual Total $ 0 Increase Increase Increase Increase Increase
The effects on retirement related fiscal costs or savings during the five year measurement period are shown in Table A and in
Items 2 and 3 below. A precise cost or savings cannot be determined because the actual cost or savings depends upon the
age, service, and salary characteristics of retired interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired
who return to work and upon the ratio of interpreters, educational transliterators, or educators of the hearing impaired that
continue reemployment to those who are induced to retire. The best information that can be given relative to retirement
related fiscal costs or savings, based on the information available to us, is that costs will increase and that the increase in cost
will be small; probably less than $100,000 a year.
2. Expenditures:
a. TRSL expenditures (Agy Self-Generated) will increase under HB 14 because TRSL will distribute more in benefits each
year under HB 14 than it will under current law.
b. TRSL may incur administrative costs to make minor software modifications to existing computer programs to identify
members that are rehired under this measure. These costs are negligible and are anticipated to be absorbed through the
agency’s existing budget.
c. Expenditures from Local Funds will increase under HB 14 because school districts will contribute more per year, on
average, to TRSL with the enactment of HB 14 than would have been contributed under current law.
3. Revenues:
a. TRSL revenues (Agy Self-Generated) will increase each year if HB 14 is enacted because school districts will contribute
more per year to TRSL under HB 14 than they would have contributed under current law.
B. Estimated Fiscal Impact – OPEB
(Prepared by the LLA)
1. Narrative
Table B shows the estimated fiscal impact of HB 14 on actuarial costs or savings associated with OPEB and the government
entities that sponsor these benefit programs. Fiscal costs or savings in Table B include administrative costs associated with
the government entity sponsoring the OPEB program. A fiscal cost is denoted by “Increase” or a positive number. Fiscal savings are denoted by “Decrease” or a negative number. A revenue increase is denoted by “Increase” or a positive number.
A revenue decrease is denoted by “Decrease” or a negative number.

HB 14 will have the following effects on OPEB related fiscal costs and revenues during the five year measurement period.
2. Expenditures:
a. Expenditures by local school districts for medical benefits may increase or decrease depending on the employment
status of employees and/or retirees and whether retirees pay a larger or smaller percentage of the medical premium.
Eventually, however, the reemployed retiree will re-retire and the retirees share of the insurance premium will be the
same it would have been had the retiree not returned to work. The state does not maintain sufficient records to
enable us to determine how employer costs will be affected in individual school districts. In our opinion, the cost
difference between HB 14 and current law will be negligible.
3. Revenue
a. This bill is not expected to have a fiscal impact on revenue.
C. Estimated Fiscal Impact: Other Government Entities (unrelated to the retirement systems or OPEB)
(Prepared by Tanesha Morgan, Legislative Fiscal Office
1. Narrative
From time to time, legislation is proposed that has an indirect effect on cash flows associated with other government entities,
unrelated to the retirement systems or OPEB. Table C shows the estimated fiscal impact (administrative and actuarial)
of HB 14 on such government entities. A fiscal cost is denoted by “Increase” or a positive number. Fiscal savings are
denoted by “Decrease” or a negative number.

Fiscal Costs Received by the LLA from the LFO
1. Narrative
Present law provides that in certain circumstances a retiree may return to work in a "critical shortage area" (defined in present
law) without reduction of benefits. Such circumstances include returning as a certified classroom teacher, as a certified
speech therapist, speech pathologist, audiologist, educational diagnostician, school social worker, school psychologist, or
school counselor. Proposed law adds interpreter, educational transliterator , or educator of the hearing impaired to the list of
certified professionals who may return to work in a critical shortage area without reduction of benefits.
