## Bill overview: provisions PRIA read

- More time to challenge pension decisions: benefit, low. People harmed by a KPERS Board order or decision made without a hearing have 60 days to request one. The deadline runs from receipt of notice, and the request must be in writing. This increases the filing period from 30 days to 60 days.
- More rollover options for public workers: benefit, low. Beginning January 1, 2016, eligible distributions from KPERS and other covered Kansas public retirement plans can roll into SIMPLE IRAs. The rollover must occur after the two-year period required by federal law for SIMPLE IRAs. This adds a destination for eligible retirement money.
- Limits on Kansas public retirement benefits: cost, medium. KPERS and other covered Kansas public retirement plans must limit death and disability benefits under the federal incidental-benefit rule. This law does not state dollar limits. A member's, spouse's, or beneficiary's life expectancy generally cannot be recalculated after it is first set for benefit…
- Calculation rules for Kansas public pensions: mixed, medium. The KPERS Board uses set life-expectancy tables and its assumed investment return for certain benefit calculations. For members hired on or after July 1, 2009, it uses a 50/50 male/female RP 2000 table projected to 2025. Partial lump-sum conversions use a 50/50 male/female blend of the 1983 group a…
- Withdrawal deadlines for Kansas public workers: mixed, medium. For covered Kansas public retirement plans, required withdrawals start by April 1 after the year members reach their required age or leave employment, whichever is later. Required ages by birth date are: before July 1, 1949, 70½; July 1, 1949–December 31, 1950, 72; January 1, 1951–December 31, 1958…
