Retirees hired per HB 385 have to be reported as follows: 

• Employer paid employee contribution amount has to be reported as Pre-tax EECON
• Employer paid employer contribution amount has to be reported as ERCON
• Payment reason code should be 07
• Employer Paid EECON flag should be set to yes
• Service Credit Eligibility should be N

What do I need to do in Munis to report correctly?

• Create an HB385 deduction code for the employer paid employER contribution
• Create a separate HB385 deduction code for the employer paid employEE contribution
• In the GA Employer Teacher Retirement Report program, define the Generate screen as follows: 
  • ERCON Deduction Range: Include the HB385 deduction code created for the employer paid employER contribution amount.
  • SB327 Empr. Paid Pre-tax EECON Deduction Range: Enter the HB385 deduction code for the employer paid employEE contribution amount. 

• When contribution amounts are greater than zero for deductions defined in the SB327 Empr. Paid Pre-tax EECON range, the Generate will automatically handle all HB 385 reporting requirements.  It will:
  • Report amounts for the defined deduction as Pre-tax EECON
  • Set the Payment Reason to 07 regardless of what is defined on the Month 0 Maintenance record
  • Set the Employer Paid EECON flag to Y
  • Set the Service Credit Eligibility to N

  The SB327 field was added to accommodate State Bill 327 in 2008.  Under (master) work ticket MUN-444409 we will re-label this range so its purpose is intuitive whether you recognize SB327 or not.  It will be changed to Empr. Paid Pre-tax EECON.
