A lot of questions have been raised regarding the significance of the definition of "Core Services" in the new Retirement Reform Act. How did the Office of Retirement Services define Core Services and what does that mean to a public school employee who retires before and after the July 1st deadline.

 

The latest from Lansing is that the bill is still in conference committee. The committee is scheduled to meet again on Thursday, May 6th to work through the details. To find out where the differences are from the House bill and the Senate bill, click here for the Legislative Analysis.
