Title 807 CMR 3.00 - RETIREMENT AND CREDIT FOR SERVICE
Section 3.04 - Retirement Credit for Service Rendered as a Part-time Member
Universal Citation: 807 MA Code of Regs 807.3
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
(1)
(a)
Except as set forth in 807 CMR 3.04(1)(b), for all purposes in M.G.L. c. 32,
creditable service for any member in service employed on a part-time basis
shall be calculated on a pro-rated basis as it relates to a full-time
position.
(b) When such a member
renders part-time membership service, the average annual rate of regular
compensation received used to calculate the member's retirement allowance under
M.G.L. c. 32, § 5(2)(a) shall be based on the full-time equivalent rate of
regular compensation received for any period of part-time service.
(c) For purposes of determining whether a
member has completed the ten or more years of creditable service required under
M.G.L. c. 32, § 6 for an ordinary disability retirement only, membership
service shall be credited on a full-time basis regardless of whether the
member's service was rendered on a part-time or full-time basis. The
calculation of the retirement allowance, however, shall be calculated according
to 807 CMR 3.04(1)(a).
(2)
(a) For
any teacher who elected to participate in the alternative superannuation
retirement benefit program pursuant to M.G.L. c. 32, § 5(4)(i) and who
retires with an effective date on or before July 1, 2012, the determination of
creditable service for purposes of determining eligibility for the enhancement
under M.G.L. c. 32, § 5(4)(ii), and calculating the amount of such
enhancement and retirement allowance shall be based on either:
1. the creditable service regulations in
effect prior to January 8, 2010; or
2. on
807 CMR 3.00, whichever yields
the higher benefit.
(b)
For retirements occurring after July 1, 2012, creditable service for all
purposes (except as noted in 807 CMR 3.04(1)(c)) shall be based solely on
807 CMR 3.00.
(3) Nothing in 807 CMR 3.04(3) shall affect the accrual of creditable service for non-membership service, which is governed by 807 CMR 3.03.
