S 3412 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires temporary benefit enhancement to be granted in each of two State fiscal years when retirement allowance or benefit is below certain amount for retiree or beneficiary in PFRS; makes appropriation.

This bill provides temporary $1,000 payments to eligible retirees and beneficiaries of New Jersey's Police and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS) whose monthly benefits are at or below 450% of the federal poverty level for a single-person household. The payments are required for two consecutive fiscal years (2025 and 2026), paid once each year as a separate addition to regular benefits. The state will fund these payments through a dedicated appropriation from the General Fund, with costs covering both benefits and administrative expenses. It directly affects low-income PFRS retirees and beneficiaries meeting the income threshold, without altering existing retirement benefit formulas.
