The SECURITY of Your MPERS Benefits
Updated on: January 11, 2010
If you are concerned about the economic events of the past year, you are not alone. First and foremost, the understanding I hope you take away from reading this message is that your retirement benefits are secure!
Your Retirement Benefits
If you are a retiree of MPERS, your benefits will continue to be paid. Legally, your benefits cannot be changed or taken away.
It is, however, possible for legislation to be introduced and passed that would change retirement benefits for active members (going forward) and new hires. From a legal perspective, it is highly unlikely to impact or change benefits that have already been earned. Full Article
