2012 House Bill 5637: Ban (future) government employee pension “double dipping”
  1. Introduced by Rep. Phil Cavanagh (D) on May 15, 2012, to prohibit future double-dipping by government employees who are collecting a pension, and then go back to work and simultaneously collect a pay check from the previous employer either directly or indirectly as a contract worker. The prohibition would be on the government employers, but would not apply to any employees who are already double-dipping before it is enacted.
    • Referred to the House Government Operations Committee on May 15, 2012.

 What if the worker is still paying into the pension program while doing the contract work?  It seems the entity would save money with the contracted/retired worker who may be on retirement insurance rather than a new worker.  Perhaps "cap" the time period of the contract to 2-3 years which would make certain the pension is not adversly affected and require the worker to pay into the pension while on contract is an option.

Would this include elected officials as well?
