Is Act 234 related to the Emergency Employment rule?
No, these are distinct and separate situations. Act 234 permits retirees to work for a public school in a non-emergency capacity as a coach, director, instructor or sponsor of an extracurricular activity without loss of their retirement annuity. The Emergency Employment rule permits school (non-extracurricular) employment after retirement without loss of the retirement annuity only when there is an emergency situation or shortage of subject certified teachers.
