Learn about the latest proposals for pension reform and threats to SURS member benefits. Also, to be discussed will be vital information, especially for current SIUE staff. 

Speakers:

John Carr, SUAA attorney and lobbyist

Michael Hastings, state senator 19th District (Chicago area)

Linda Brookhart, SUAA executive director

We all need to be informed about pending legislation, and we cannot be complacent!

Some important questions that will be addressed:

1. What pension changes might be imposed on current Tier I employees (those first employed prior to January 1, 2011)?
2. Can the state tax pensions and other retirement income?
3. Can the state limit employee raises to the rate of inflation?
4. Can the state reduce the three percent automatic annual increases for pensions?
5. Can the state increase the deductible and co-pays for employee and retiree health insurance?
6. Can federal bankruptcy and state constitutional laws be changed to allow significant reductions in pensions and health care benefits?

Note: We have scheduled the time of this meeting to allow current employees to attend after work.
