S 2383 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits purchase of service credit in PERS, TPAF, PFRS, and SPRS for period of enrollment in military service academy.

This bill allows New Jersey state employees enrolled in certain retirement systems (PERS, TPAF, PFRS, SPRS) to purchase retirement credit for time spent at military service academies (e.g., West Point, Annapolis). Employees can buy up to 10 years of credit by paying into the retirement fund based on salary and age, with payments spread over up to 10 years - employers are not responsible for these costs. The credit purchase applies specifically to academy enrollment periods, not general military service, and does not affect eligibility for health care benefits after retirement. It amends existing retirement rules to clarify this process for military academy enrollment.
