Authorizing retirement and disability benefits under KPERS, KP&F and the retirement system for judges to be paid on either a biweekly or monthly basis at the option of a member or recipient.

HB 2130 allows members and recipients of retirement and disability benefits under Kansas' public employee retirement systems (KPERS, KP&F) and the judges' retirement system to choose between receiving payments every two weeks (biweekly) or monthly. For judges, this option becomes available starting July 1, 2026, after the first month's payment, with elections required within 60 days of the choice. Other beneficiaries under KPERS and KP&F will have the same payment frequency choice without a specific effective date. The bill does not alter benefit amounts, only the schedule of payments.
