More Idaho retirees keep pensions while working

Beginning July 1, 2026, more Idaho public pension retirees can choose to keep their pensions when returning to PERSI-covered jobs. They must have retired before January 1, 2026, at age 55 or older. The law moves the retirement cutoff from January 1, 2022, to January 1, 2026. Those choosing this option make no member contributions and earn no additional service credit while working. The law also removes the option’s June 30, 2026, end date.
