Disabled woman wants second chance after regretful early retirement from civil service - Video

#JamaicaGleaner
Sandra Ewan, a 58-year-old resident of Kingston living with special needs, has one major life regret: taking up the Government’s Special Early Retirement Programme (SERP) offer in 2018. The programme was initiated in light of the Pensions (Public Service) Act 2017, which adjusted the terms under which public sector workers could retire. It was open to eligible public sector workers who were permanent employees between the ages of 50 and 59 years, with the exception of health professionals, members of the security forces, correctional officers, and teachers.
