Rehired correctional retirees keep pension, with limits

Beginning July 1, 2026, a Correctional Officers’ Retirement System retiree who takes a job with a participating employer keeps their full pension. Rehire pay is not cut for employer pickup or member pension contributions. You do not earn new pension service credit while rehired. You must wait 45 days after you retire before starting work with the State or a participating employer. You must tell the Board of Trustees right away when you accept the job.

New payroll reporting for rehired retirees

Beginning July 1, 2026, the State Retirement Agency sets up payroll reporting to enforce these rules. Each participating employer must send the agency a yearly list of all employees with Social Security numbers and earnings. When asked, state units must certify a person’s employment status at their last separation before retirement.
