School Crossing Guards<br />

An amendment made in 2000 to the (Pennsylvania) Township and Borough Codes<br />

specifically prohibits school crossing guards from membership in PSERS. School<br />

boards do not have the statutory authority to employ school crossing guards. Only<br />

a borough, a first or second-class township or a third class city can employ<br />

persons in such positions. These municipalities can allow school districts to<br />

assume the hiring and oversight of school crossing guards. Even if this is done,<br />

the guards are expressly excluded as school employees and, therefore, are not<br />

eligible for membership in PSERS.<br />

Retirees Returning to Work<br />

With the passage of Act 2004-63, PSERS retirees may return to Pennsylvania public<br />

school employment without suspension of their monthly retirement benefit under<br />

certain conditions. A retiree can be hired in an emergency situation that causes an<br />

impairment of service to the public, shortage of subject certified teachers or other<br />

personnel, or in an extracurricular position under a separate written contract.<br />

• When a retiree returns to work and does not meet the conditions in Act<br />

2004-63, contact the Employer Service Center to report this member’s<br />

return to service. PSERS will need a written confirmation from the<br />

employer and another from the employee indicating the following:<br />

1. The date the employee will return to service.<br />

2. The employee understands that the PSERS pension will be stopped.<br />

• Once PSERS notifies employer that verifications were received, you must<br />

create a Member Demographic Record for the retiree reported from the first<br />

day of employment.<br />

• The retirees monthly pension benefit will be suspended until that time<br />

when the employee is ready to retire again.<br />

• Refer to the Employer’s Reference Manual for Member Benefits chapter 6<br />

entitled Retirees – Employment After Retirement for more details.<br />

Other Ineligible Employees<br />

If an employee does not fit into any category of employment described in this section,<br />

see Exceptions to Membership Eligibility on page 19 for more information.<br />
