Police and fire chiefs can work longer
Effective February 28, 2025, qualifying New Jersey police and fire chiefs can keep working past mandatory retirement at 65. They can stay in the Police and Firemen’s Retirement System through the end of the year they turn 67. They must have been serving as chiefs when the 2022 law, P.L.2022, c.9, took effect. Their 65th birthday must fall between that date and the last day of the 60th calendar month afterward. Their appointing authority must approve their continued service in writing. The retirement system’s Board of Trustees must report to the Governor and Legislature on participation, service after 65, and system impacts. That report is due within 30 days after the last day of the 60th calendar month following February 28, 2025.
