KPPA warns prearranged reemployment can void retirement and trigger full repayment
Summary
KPPA told webinar attendees that prearranged agreements to return to work can void retirement benefits; the agency cited KRS 61.637 and Kentucky Administrative Regulations Title 105 Chapter 1:390 and said repaid members may reapply for retirement after repayment and termination of employment with participating agencies.
The presenter warned that prearranged reemployment agreements can result in voided retirements and repayment obligations. "If you have a prearranged agreement, your retirement will be voided and you will be required to repay all the benefits you have received," the presenter said, and referenced Kentucky Revised Statute 61.637 and Kentucky Administrative Regulations Title 105 Chapter 1:390 for the repayment requirement.
The webinar noted that most members whose retirement was voided did not intentionally violate the rules, and KPPA emphasized members may reapply for retirement after repaying allowances and terminating employment with all participating agencies. The presenter recommended members contact KPPA Legal for case‑specific review before taking actions that might risk voiding benefits.
