This includes providing services in any part or full-time capacity, including substitute teaching. The applicable state and federal laws governing how and when a retiree can return to work without suspending their pension benefits are very specific and strict.

Pursuant to State law, failure to obtain approval prior to returning to work will result in suspension of your pension benefits and recoupment of any benefits paid while you were ineligible.
