Case ID: 4634 | Family | 01/30/2006
More than 20,000 retired Oregon public employees would be protected from having to reimburse the state pension fund for past "overpayments" into their pension accounts, under a recently filed class-action lawsuit.
The suit challenges a recent decision by the Public Employees Retirement System Board to recoup the money from the retirees by making reductions in their monthly checks. Most of the reductions won't kick in until they can be offset by annual cost-of-living increases of 2 percent. At stake is hundreds of millions of dollars granted to those who left public service between April 1, 2000, and March 31, 2004. Retirees still argue the notion that there were overpayments or that they should pay them back.
