MY NAME IS ROBERT MALIKIN AND I AM A RPCV WHO SERVED IN INDIA 43 FROM 1967-1969.
I AM CURRENTLY WORKING AS A SOCIAL WORKER FOR THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS. IT RECENTLY CAME TO MY ATTENTION THAT RPCV'S SERVING AS TEACHERS OR PUBLIC SCHOOL GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE 2YEARS TOWARDS THEIR RETIREMENT FOR THEIR PEACE CORPS SERVICE.
AS I AM IN A NON-EDUCATION SETTINGS, THIS DID NOT SEEM FAIR TO ME. I HAVE REQUESTED MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE, STEVE KULIK, TO SUBMIT A BILL ON BEHALF OF ALL RPCV WORKING FOR THE COMMONWEALTH SO THAT WE CAN ALL RECEIVE CREDIT TOWARDS OUR RETIREMENT FOR OUR PEACE CORPS SERVICE.
I ANTICIPATE THAT THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING IN THE NEAR FUTURE ON BEHALF OF THIS BILL.
I AM SEEKING RPCV WHO ARE CLOSER TO BOSTON WHO MAY BE IN A POSITION TO TESTIFY. I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR RPCV WORKING FOR THE COMMONWEALTH WHO WOULD BE WILLING TO WRITE LETTERS ON BEHALF OF THIS BILL. THE BILL HAS YET TO BE ASSIGNED A DOCKET NUMBER OR COMMITTEE THOUGH I NOTE THERE ARE OTHER BILL PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE BEING FLOATED.
ANYONE WILLING TO HELP ME (AND YOURSELF!) WOULD YOU PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT: bob.malikin@state.ma.us
