Rehired Retiree Reminder 
Georgia law restricts retirees of ERS, JRS, and LRS from returning to service for a covered employer for more than 1,040 hours per calendar year. 
Please make note of the following: 
 It is your responsibility as an employee or contractor to notify your employer that you receive pension benefits 
 Failure to notify your employer can result in overpaid pension benefits, for which you will be responsible for repayment 
 To meet the Independent Contractor exception, your employer must complete the verification form and file it with your retirement plan 
 A new Rehired Retiree form must be submitted to the retirement plan by each of your covered employers  Keep track of your time - 1,040 hours is equivalent to approximately 6 months of full-time work  Benefits are suspended after 1,040 hours for the remainder of the calendar year  The 1,040 hours limit resets each calendar year
