Tier Conversion

 

2022 LOCAL GOVERNMENT TIER CONVERSION 

Local governments will now have the option of providing Tier I benefits to Tier II employees at any time they choose.  Two-thirds (592) of the eligible local entities participating in the Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) approved the retirement conversion before the May 8, 2021 deadline.  The new law removes the deadline and allows any new local entities entering RSA with the same option.

 

CITIES, COUNTIES AND PUBLIC BOARDS PREVIOUSLY APPROVED THE TIER ll CONVERSION IN 2019

 

The Local Government Tier II Revision Law that was passed by the Legislature and enacted by Gov. Kay Ivey as Act #2019-132 authorized cities, counties and public boards to offer Tier 1 retirement benefits to its current and future Tier II employees.  ARSEA/APEAL worked with the Alabama League of Municipalities to draft and pass this important legislation in 2019.

This law allows local public entities to provide better retirement benefits for current employees while simultaneously giving employers a tool to recruit and retain quality workers in coming years.  

For more details on the important work that ARSEA/APEAL has done to help improve retirement benefits for employees, contact the staff at ARSEA/APEAL 334-834-9116.

The deadline to participate in this opportunity was May 8, 2021.  Please refer to the final list below of local public agencies that have approved the Tier ll conversion to see if your city, county or public board participated.
