Payouts from another government employee retirement plan in Georgia are nearly triple what is received by the lead plaintiff in a $75 million class-action lawsuit in Hall County. The lawsuit filed in Fulton County Superior Court is challenging a 1998 freeze in retirement pension benefits for Hall government employees. The lawsuit claims the county “made no additional employer contributions for plaintiffs to the ‘trust fund.’” When the board resolution was signed in 1998, all accrued benefits after that were frozen.
