If you accept public or private employment while you are receiving long-term benefits, there are limits to the amount you may earn each month without affecting your long-term benefit. You may earn up to the difference between the monthly base rate of salary on which your long-term benefit is calculated and the amount of your monthly long-term benefit after any required offsets. If you earn more than this amount, your long-term benefit will be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of your excess earnings.

If you exceed your earnable allowance limit you will be required to repay the excess. The Retirement Systems Division will calculate the amount of your overpayment and inform you in writing of your overpayment amount and your repayment options for reimbursing the Retirement Systems Division.
