Action required! Email PERA Board before December 12th

This Thursday December 12th the PERA Board is meeting and voting on Legislative initiatives they will be supporting or not.

 Last session we had a bill to add a Correctional Officer seat to the PERA Board and they voted to 'take no action' but discuss it at the next planning meeting. That was last October and the Board was mostly against it. See this post in our MNCORA Blog.

This Thursday they vote. While the bill will be coming from the Legislature the Pension Commission very much considers PERA's position on it.

It is to our advantage to get the Board to support our bill for a Correctional Officer on the board. 

Please, please take a minute to email them and tell them very simply you are a PERA member of the Correctional Plan and you want them to support a Correctional Seat on the Board. 

This is what MNCORA wrote to the Board before the planning meeting. https://mncoretirementassociation.blogspot.com/2024/10/mncora-letter-to-pera.html

Important points are the State CO's have a seat on the State Pension Board and it's cost neutral. This is not a paid position! 

FORWARD this to other PERA members not on our list!

Here's their emails below.

Correctional Officers Federally Recognized as Public Safety Employees

As of January 1, 2025,  Correctional Officers are Federally Recognized as Public Safety Employees   the same as Police and Fire.  This has implications for disability, taxes and retirement. As we face new challenges to our pension in 2025 this will further the distinction between PERA General Plan members like 911 Dispatch and Probation and CO's in the PERA Correctional Plan. It's part  of the Secure Act 2.0. 26 USC § 72(t)()(10)  definition of Public Safety Employee - qualified public safety employee (10) Distributions to qualified public safety employees and private sector firefighters (A) In general In the case of a distribution to a qualified public safety employee from a governmental plan (within the meaning of section 414(d) ) or a distribution from a plan described in clause (iii), (iv), or (vi) of section 402(c)(8)(B) to an employee who provides firefighting services, paragraph (2)(A)(v) shall be applied by substituting “age 50 or 25 years of service u...

Confusion at today's PERA meeting

 I attended the PERA Board meeting remotely today (3/13/25). As all of you know there's lots of pieces at play in the PERA pension plans. There have been in the recent past attempts by 911 Dispatchers and Probation to be merged into the PERA Correctional Plan which MNCORA has vehemently opposed. The positive note from todays meeting is that the current discussion is centered around improved pensions (earlier retirement) for probation and dispatch without talk of adding them to the Correctional Plan.  The sad part is the apparent confusion among PERA Board members as to the difference between Essential Employees and Public Safety Employees. Some were using the terms interchangeably which could lead to future problems.  While Police, Fire, Corrections, Probation and 911 Dispatch are all essential employees  https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/179A.03 . Only Police, Fire and Correctional Officers are Public Safety! The Secure Act 2.0 spells out changes to the defi...
