TO: | Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB155 by Pickett (Relating to correcting errors in the distribution of benefits by a public retirement system. ), As Passed 2nd House |
HB 155, As Passed 2nd House, would amend current law for the correction of errors in the distribution of benefits by establishing a procedure whereby a public retirement system would notify a person whose payments are incorrect. The bill would also require the public retirement system to either adjust future payments or institute recovery of the amounts due within 90 days of the original notification. The bill would restrict the time frame during which a retirement system can collect on an overpayment and if a retirement system did not act within this time frame, it could have some potential costs to the system. These provisions would only apply to a public retirement system located in a county of 650,000 or more located within 50 miles of an international border. No significant long-term actuarial impact is anticipated.
