Tier 6 Correction
The enacted state budget includes a change to how pensions are calculated. Under the new law, a Tier 6 employees' pension will be based on their top 3 years of earnings instead of 5 years. This change will increase retirement security for Tier 6 employees and make Tier 6 look more like earlier pension tiers.
