Gov. Bevin signs executive order prohibiting pension spiking By Nicole Burton Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin signed an executive order today to ensure continuation of a good-government Bevin Administration policy that prohibits former legislators appointed to executive or judicial branch positions from potentially doubling or tripling their pension payout by engaging in a practice known as "pension spiking." Members of the Kentucky General Assembly who began participation in the Legislators' Retirement Plan prior to January 1, 2014, are entitled to a defined benefit pension. The final pension payout for this plan is calculated using a formula based on the individual's years of service in the legislature, multiplied by the average salary for the three highest years of salary (known as the "high three"), and then multiplied by a percentage called a benefit factor.
