January 4, 1982 Honorable Bob Boyer Sebastian County Judge Sebastian County Courthouse Fort Smith, Arkansas 72901 RE: Retirement of County Employee and Reappointment on part-time basis Dear Judge Boyer: This is in response to your request for an opinion on the following matter. Sebastian County's Juvenile Referee is eligible for retirement on.January 31, 1982. The County wants to reappoint him on a part-time basis. Your question is whether there are any problems with this proposal. We are unaware of any prohibitions on the reappointment of a retired official. The only factor of which you and the retired official should be aware is the work test limitation in the retirement system. Pursuant to Ark. Stat. Ann. §12-2541.1 (Supp. 1981) and Ark. Stat. Ann. S12-3305(5.12)(Supp. 1981) the Federal Social Security Act Retirement Test is incorporated into the retirement system. Under this test, a retired employee who receives compensation from any public employer whose employees are covered by a state supported retirement system will be subject to certain dollar limitations as Social Security recipients and may consequently have their annuity reduced. For the year 1982 those limitations are as follows: Retired Employee under 65 - $4440 per annum Retired Employee over 65 - $6000 per annum Retired Employee 72 and over - no limitation
