Judge grants back pay to retired educators

ATLANTA --- A judge is granting about 15,000 retired Georgia educators back pay as part of a class-action lawsuit against the state's teachers retirement system.

The tab for the court order released Friday could run as high as $500 million. Senior Fulton County Superior Court Judge Alice Bonner says the money will come out of the retirement system's reserves and won't affect benefits for future retirees.

The lawsuit, filed in 2004, claimed the state used incorrect data to determine the life expectancy of teachers, meaning retirees got less money than they were due. The state Supreme Court ruled in 2006 that the retirement system was liable for the payments.
