forfeiture

PERAC has issued updated lists of public employees ineligible to join a Chapter 32 retirement system due to forfeiture under G.L. c. 32, § 15 — typically resulting from misappropriation of funds or conviction of certain crimes. Boards must review the attached alphabetical and board-sorted lists against their active membership. Any match must be reported to PERAC's Doreen Duane with the member's full name and last four digits of SSN for confirmation before any action is taken.

PERAC provides an updated list of public employees who are no longer statutorily eligible to join a Chapter 32 retirement system, pursuant to G.L. c. 32, §15. Under that section, members charged with misappropriation of funds, convicted of offenses related to governmental funds, or convicted of certain enumerated crimes may lose their right to a retirement allowance and/or accumulated total deductions. Newly added individuals appear in bold on the attached list. Boards with any of the forfeited members still active in their system should contact Kim Boisvert at 617-666-4446, ext. 906 with the last four digits of the member's Social Security number for verification.
