A 3378 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Eliminates salary reference for retired members of PERS returning to employment in teaching staff positions.

This bill removes a $10,000 salary threshold for retired Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) members returning to teaching positions at public institutions of higher education in New Jersey. Currently, the exemption from having retirement benefits canceled applied only if such employment exceeded $10,000 annually; the bill eliminates this requirement entirely. As a result, retired PERS members returning to teaching roles at public colleges or universities will automatically retain their retirement benefits, regardless of their salary amount. The change aligns with legislative intent to fully exempt these retirees from standard retirement benefit cancellation rules.
