Louisiana troopers gain pension credit purchase options

Louisiana State Police Retirement System members can now buy credit for qualifying out-of-state, full-time police work after six months of service credit. Previously, members needed 10 years of credit and membership starting before July 1, 2008. The past work cannot be covered by this system or count toward any other public retirement or pension system. Members pay a price based on actuarial calculations, which estimate retirement costs. Buying credit can increase retirement benefits, but the supplied text gives no dollar price or benefit formula.
