Overview
This bill, the "Combat Veteran Pension Credit Act," establishes a program to provide eligible combat veterans in New Jersey with up to four years of pension credit at no cost. It aims to recognize the sacrifices made by these veterans and encourage their continued service in public safety and other critical roles. The bill applies to members of several state retirement systems, including those for judges, police officers, firefighters, public employees, teachers, and state police. The Department of Veterans Affairs will determine eligibility, and the service credit will be automatically applied without requiring a monetary buyback.
