Reemployment After Retirement

​​Some members use retirement to begin a second career, and others return to work for financial reasons. Retirees should be aware of the requirements, and potential consequences, of accepting employment with any employer participating in any of the systems operated by KPPA.



The member's retirement benefits will be voided, and the member will be required to repay all retirement allowances, dependent child payments, and health plan premiums paid by KPPA if:

  • The member and employer do not submit the required forms.
  • The member fails to observe the proper break in service.
  • The member reemploys​ after retirement under a prearranged agreement.

Please refer to our Reemployment after Retirement Handbook for complete information about Kentucky Revised Statutes 61.637 and 78.5540, the employment after retirement laws.
