HB 3180 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Federal Compliance for public employee retirement status

This bill aligns West Virginia's public employee retirement systems with federal law by clarifying key terms like "bona fide separation from service" and updating definitions. It adds the Emergency Medical Service Retirement System to contribution pick-up provisions and modifies rules to allow retired public safety officers to cover qualified health insurance premiums from their retirement plans. These changes directly affect public employees enrolled in multiple retirement systems, including teachers, police, firefighters, and state workers, ensuring compliance with federal requirements for retirement benefits.
