Gov. Whitmer has signed a bill making changes to the post-retirement employment window and earnings limits for school retirees who choose to return to work.
House Bill 4752 shortens the wait period for a retiree with a bona-fide retirement to work at a school from nine months to six months. It also allows them to work during the waiting period, so long as they earn less than $15,100 in a calendar year.
Once six months have passed since the member’s retirement date, retirees are no longer subject to the calendar-year earnings cap.
The bill, endorsed by the Michigan Education Association, was granted immediate effect.
