Contract Language around Retirement

If you are close to the end of your career in education, in order to make the most of your retirement there are a few areas of the contract you should read.

Article 16.03 (page 28)

This refers to Severance Pay, specifically for those with more than 200 sick days accumulated. In order to get 'super severance', you must retire the first year you are eligible for reduced benefits or the first year you are eligible for unreduced benefits. If you are close to retirement and would like to know what that means to you, contact me and I will pull it together for you.

The chart for benefits is at this link:

Tax Information

1/14/2020

From the OEA: The tax cuts act of 2018 suspended the previous deduction for job-related expenses or other miscellaneous deductions that exceeded 2% of adjusted gross income. This suspension included unreimbursed employee expenses such as union dues. These expenses are no longer deductible. Therefore, we will not be publishing a “deductible” amount for your union dues.

For further information, please see your tax preparer or IRS publication 5307.
