The following information was just received from the Office of the State Comptroller.
The 2017 SEBAC agreement called for an increase in the employee Alternate Retirement Program (ARP) contribution of .75% to offset the decrease in the employer share unless an employee chooses to opt out. At this time the .75% increase in the employee share is not being implemented since this may conflict with IRS rules.
If there is a decision to change the employee ARP contribution in the future, notification will be sent to impacted ARP members.
