Post-Retirement Work in the Public Sector

Post-Retirement Work in the Public Sector

Pursuant to legislation recently passed (Chapter 53 of the Acts of 2020), superannuation retirees (disability retirees are excluded from the legislation) working in the public sector will be subject to a different hours/earnings calculation for CY 2020.  Specifically, hours and earnings that occur during the current State of Emergency as defined in the Governor’s Executive Order of March 10, 2020 will not be included in the retiree’s earnings limitations for CY 2020.  Please note that this work need not be directly related to the coronavirus; the law covers any hours/earnings from the emergency period.  So, for example, if the State Emergency lasts 3 months, the hours and earnings from this period will not be included in the 2020 limitations, you would only look at the hours and earnings from the other 9 months.
