PER CURIAM

      AND NOW, this 3rd day of August, 2016, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The issue, as framed by Petitioners, is as follows:

      Did [the] Commonwealth Court erroneously affirm the decision of the State
      Employees’ Retirement Board that union stipends, paid to union officers to work
      exclusively for the union, are retirement-covered compensation, when that
      decision was clearly contrary to the mandates of the State Employees’
      Retirement Code and inconsistent with decisions of this Honorable Court?
