Senator calls for elimination of TERI retirement program
South Carolina Senator Greg Ryberg proposes ending the Teacher and Employee Retirement Incentive program a move he says would save the state from a 750 million dollar hit. He notes TERI allows 28 years of service to retire then work five more years with a lump sum payout and argues the program harms fiscal integrity and long term retirement viability. Ryberg says current participants would finish the program but no new entrants would be allowed.
