FISCAL ANALYSIS



ASSUMPTION



Officials of the Joint Committee on Public Employee Retirement have reviewed this proposal and have determined that it does not represent a "substantial proposed change" in future plan benefits as defined in section 105.660(5), RSMo. Therefore, an actuarial cost statement is not required.



Officials of the Office of Administration assume any fiscal impact would be determined by the Public School Retirement System.



Officials of the Public School Retirement System assume the proposal would have no impact to either the Public School Retirement System or the Non-Teacher School Employee Retirement System.

DESCRIPTION



The proposal clarifies that, for the purposes of determining Social Security disability payments only, a Public School Retirement System (PSRS) or Non-Teachers Retirement System (NTRS) employee who is retired on disability and who is less than 60 years of age, but who is at least 55 years of age and has at least 25 years of service shall be considered to be receiving a normal retirement allowance.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
