[VEEMAN]

k2at.....I also worked for the State of New Jersey, have recently retired, and currently receive a pension from the State. During my entire career as an employee of the State of New Jersey, I resided across the Delaware River in the Pennsylvania. The two States, NJ & PA, had a tax reciprocity agreement regarding the payment of State taxes........my Pennsylvania State tax was deducted from my New Jersey paycheck and sent directly to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
At this time, Pennsylvania does not tax my pension and to the best of my knowledge, neither will the State of Florida (when I get there...we bought a lot in Bonita).......some States do tax pension/retirement checks however. Under a separate response to you, njbchbum provided a link (treasury/pensions) for you to follow. It should answer most of your $$ questions.
I took the 08 buyout from Corzine and worked for the Department of Health.
