A 2487 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits certain retired public employees in PERS to collect pension while also collecting salary as an elected official.

This bill allows current elected officials in New Jersey who are retired public employees under the Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) to collect both their pension benefits and their full salary for the elected office they hold. It applies only if the pension is not based solely on service in that specific elected office, and no additional retirement contributions are required for the elected office service. The bill is limited to current officeholders (not future retirees) and reverses a 2011 repeal of a similar rule, restoring a prior policy for existing officials.
