HB 3459 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Creating exception allowing school service personnel, deputy sheriffs, and correctional officers to be reemployed and work without income limitation while recieving retirement

HB 3459 allows retired deputy sheriffs, correctional officers, and teachers (in substitute roles) to return to work without losing their monthly retirement benefits. It specifically permits retired deputy sheriffs in counties with the lowest per capita income or where county commissions approve rehiring, provided the sheriff has fewer than five deputies and has tried to recruit new staff. The bill removes income limits for these retirees but requires sheriff offices to report rehires annually and sets a sunset date of July 1, 2030. Correctional officers and teachers (as substitutes) can work unlimited hours without benefit loss, though teachers cannot contribute additional retirement funds from these jobs.
