Idaho retirees can volunteer, but risk repayment
Beginning July 1, 2025, Idaho public employee retirement system retirees can volunteer for covered employers without losing retirement benefits. They must have no promise, expectation, or receipt of pay. The work cannot be work the employer normally pays someone to do. Volunteer status cannot be used to avoid being treated as an employee. Retirees who fail these tests must repay retirement benefits received, and their retirement is treated as canceled.
