ASRS; return to work

HB 2335 modifies Arizona's State Retirement System (ASRS) rules to allow retirees to return to work without immediately losing benefits under specific conditions. It permits retirees working at least 20 hours per week for 20 weeks annually to retain benefits until December 31, 2028, provided they either rejoin ASRS as active members or meet exceptions (e.g., switching employers or taking a 90-day break). Retirees who work without proper re-enrollment must repay ASRS for benefits received during the period they were employed. The bill sunset clause (ending December 31, 2028) and repayment rules are key mechanisms, affecting ASRS retirees returning to part-time work.
