This bill addresses the retirement contributions for Alaine Pappin, an employee of Independent School District No. 281 in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, who had previously unreported service prior to July 1, 1989. It mandates that both the employee and employer make contributions based on the omitted service, as calculated by the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA). The bill clarifies that these contributions are permissible even though Pappin was not enrolled in a public pension plan at the time the service was rendered. Furthermore, the contributions will retroactively establish Pappin's membership in a public pension fund and grant her eligibility for an unreduced early retirement benefit.
The bill specifies that the contributions required will be calculated based on an omitted salary of $3,185, including interest, as outlined in Minnesota Statutes, section 353.27, subdivision 12b. The effective date of this section is set for the day following its final enactment.
