Retirement plan to merge state systems with Social Security
A proposal to integrate teachers and state and local governmental retirement systems with Social Security will be submitted to the General Assembly. The plan, supported by Nathan Yelton, would shift employee contributions to 2 percent into Social Security up to 4200 annual income and 5 percent into the retirement system thereafter, with no five year cost increase and some benefit reductions offset by Social Security gains. The Teachers and State Employees System has 65 active members and the Governmental Employees System about 9,000 members.
