SB 294  Retirement; certain public employers and employee contributions; Employees' Retirement System of Georgia; employed beneficiaries; require 
This bill requires that employers that employ an Employees' Retirement System (ERS) retiree pay both the employer and employee contributions for the retiree to ERS while the retiree is employed. The retiree would continue to receive their pension benefit; however, they would not earn any creditable service in the retirement system. This provision would not apply if the employing agency certifies the rehired retiree is an independent contractor. Existing 1,040 restrictions are unchanged by this legislation. 
SB 294 received a DO PASS by Committee Substitute from the Senate Rules Committee and was placed on the Senate Calendar for 2/26/2018.
