Increase Looms In Pensions for School Teachers
The Virginia State legislation commission on retirement urged Gov. Tuck to liberalize the 1942 retirement act with a $2 million annual cost boost. Proposals include crediting prior service for those who joined late, raising the state share and annuity percentages, and optional retirement at 60 with reduced benefits. The panel also backs a separate plan for compulsory retirement at 55 for state police, phased in to age 65 or 25 years service.
