(read more...) iaff monitoring irs review of retirement eligibility standards (international association of fire fighters) september 25, 2008 - iaff governmental relations staff has been working with members of congress on both sides of the aisle to ensure that an internal revenue service (irs) review that began in 2007 of requirements concerning the appropriate age at which public employees may qualify for a service retirement doesn't negatively affect public safety workers. under the proposed regulations, normal retirement age for most workers would range from between 55-62, but a special provision for public safety officers permits a normal retirement age as low as 50. however, the newly proposed regulation from the irs has called into question the use of years of service to determine eligibility for a full pension benefit. for example, under the new regulation, a system that allows fire fighters to retire at the completion of 25 years of service, regardless of age, could run afoul of the new irs-proposed regulations.

"that's the figure we arrived at for 2007, and the figure we will use through december, so it's kind of a moving target. we know it's changed some since january, but we don't know how much,” koscinski said. a particularly rapid growth spurt occurred in norman in the 1970s, koscinski said.
