Massachusetts Schools Pension Plan for non teacher employees

[Egold]

In MA, the pension plan allows participants to retire after 10 years and attaining age 55.

If a participant takes a leave of absence due to medical reasons from April through August, can this participant be denied a pension if he decides not to go back to work.

The participant completed 10 years of service and age 55 during this time period.
