RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 349 (SB 415) 2024 Regular Session Price
Existing law provides relative to the reemployment of retirees of the Sheriffs' Pension and
Relief Fund. Existing law generally requires suspension of a retiree's benefit during
reemployment by or in the office of any La. sheriff; however, allows a retiree reemployed on
a part-time basis to continue to receive the benefit if his earnings in a fiscal year do not
exceed 50% of his final average compensation (FAC) for the first 24 months of retirement
and 55% of FAC thereafter.
Existing law provides that the part-time reemployment shall not result in any additional
creditable service time nor shall employer and employee contributions be paid during
reemployment.
New law, for the four fiscal years from July 1, 2024, until June 30, 2028, provides an
exception to the earnings limitation in existing law for a person who retired before Jan. 1,
2024. Allows a retiree reemployed part-time under new law to continue to receive the benefit
subject to an annual earnings limitation of 60% of FAC in the first 24 months of retirement
and 65% thereafter.
New law provides that the part-time reemployment under new law shall not result in any
additional creditable service time; however, requires employer and employee contributions
to be paid during reemployment. New law provides that upon termination of reemployment
under new law the employee's contributions shall be returned, without interest, upon the
employee's request.
Effective May 28, 2024.
