Fiscal Detail and Notes
The Maine Public Employees Retirement System will require a one-time General Fund appropriation of $2,600,000 in fiscal year 2025-26 for the unfunded actuarial liability created as a result of expanding the periods of conflict for which members of the State Employee and Teacher Retirement Program who served in the armed forces during those conflicts can purchase service credit at a subsidized rate. Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 18-A, unfunded liabilities may not be created except those that result from experience losses.
