Dispute over IPERS measure delays retirement benefit bill
In Des Moines UPI reports a major IPERS proposal to boost Iowa state worker retirement benefits was sent back to the Senate after a House vote 93 to 1. Key disputes centered on Senate amendments allowing the Iowa Employment Security Commission to adjust monthly benefits and permitting school systems to stop IPERS contributions for teachers over 65. The House rejected a $50 minimum pension guarantee for those with 10 years service retired before 1973 by 46 to 44, warning it could destabilize IPERS. The bill would lift benefits for about 120,000 IPERS employees and raise the contribution ceiling from 7800 to 10800.
