§1513. Reemployment of a retiree

A. Except as provided in Subsection B of this Section, a retiree receiving retirement benefits from the system may be temporarily reemployed by a clerk, but the retiree shall not be or become a member of the system during such reemployment. If the retiree is reemployed in any capacity for more than sixty working days, or the equivalent thereof, during any calendar year, the benefits payable to the retiree shall be reduced by the amount he earned after sixty working days, or the equivalent thereof. The retiree and the clerk shall immediately notify the board of the date of reemployment, the amount of salary paid, any changes in salary, the number of hours employed per week, the estimated duration of reemployment, and the date of the termination of the reemployment. If the retiree dies during reemployment, benefits shall be paid to any other person as if death occurred regardless of reemployment pursuant to any option which may have been selected by the retiree at the time of retirement.

B.(1) A retiree who has terminated employment and was receiving retirement benefits from the system on January 1, 2007, may be temporarily reemployed by a clerk whose office is located in a parish designated under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act as eligible for individual assistance, or individual assistance and public assistance following hurricane Katrina or Rita; however, the retiree shall not be or become a member of the system during such reemployment. If the retiree is reemployed by such a clerk in any capacity for more than one hundred eighty working days, or the equivalent thereof, during any calendar year, the benefits payable to the retiree shall be reduced by the amount he earned after one hundred eighty working days, or the equivalent thereof. The retiree and the clerk shall immediately notify the board of the date of reemployment, the amount of salary paid, any changes in salary, the number of hours employed per week, the estimated duration of reemployment, and the date of the termination of the reemployment. If the retiree dies during reemployment, benefits shall be paid to any other person as if death occurred regardless of reemployment pursuant to any option which may have been selected by the retiree at the time of retirement.
