The Massachusetts Public Employee Pension Plan is a 401(a) Defined Benefit Plan established by MGL Chapter 32 and is further regulated by the Commonwealth's Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) for all public (state, municipal, & regional) employees. Massachusetts public employees are excluded from coverage under Social Security.
The State Retirement Board (SRB) administers MGL Chapter 32 for all State Employees and the Mass Teachers Retirement Board (MTRB) administers MGL Chapter 32 for all Massachusetts Teachers. Municipal and Regional employees are administered by local and regional Retirement Boards.
