Guest biale78809 Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I am a retired federal employee and now work for my county government. Our board enacted an ordinance for a new pension plan for all county employees, but specifically states that former federal employees cannot participate. Are there any specific federal or state guidelines which address their ability to do this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGB Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 There are no federal guidelines. Federal laws are generally not applicable to state or local governments (separation of powers issues). There may be state laws concerning this, but it is doubtful. Most states do not have many laws concerning benefits at the local level. In designing the provision, the county probably adhered to any state laws. However, it is still a possibility they didn't. Finding out the state laws in your state is not an easy task. A local lawyer familiar with state laws would be your best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
