Technical Correction to Group 4 Retirement for Corrections Officers (HB 2691 - Rep. George Peterson)

Under current law (MGL c.32, sec. 28M), a Group 4 corrections officer can retire after 20 years of service at 50% of their salary. This benefit is one of the reasons most officers choose a career with DOC, despite the hazards of the job. Recently, it has come to light that some DOC employees are utilizing a loophole in the law to take advantage of this retirement benefit. For example, an employee who has 19 years of service with the DOC in a non-Group 4 position will become a Group 4 CO for the 20th year and is being allowed to retire at 50%. This scenario clearly violates the spirit of the law, and is unfair to the guys who work the full 20 years as an officer. The proposed bill would require that in order for an individual to retire at 50% they would have had to of worked a majority of the 20 years in a Group 4 position.
Received Favorable Recommendation by the Legislature’s Public Service Committee.
