The State Retirement System

Membership in either the Maryland State Retirement System or the Maryland State Pension System is mandatory for all regular certificated and some support services employees. All certificated and support services personnel with eligible classification and employed since January 1, 1980, are enrolled in the Teachers’ Pension System. Other support services personnel employed since January 1, 1980, are enrolled in the Employees’ Pension System. Pension System eligibility requires that the employee work a minimum of 700 hours each fiscal year.

Effective July 1, 2006, members of the Teachers’ Pension System are required to make an annual 3% employee contribution. Therefore, all members in this system do have a regular payroll deduction.

The State Retirement/Pension Systems now require that all persons who wish to be approved for a leave of absence by the Retirement/Pension Systems must submit their request for an approved leave prior to the beginning of their leave of absence.

All written communications with the Retirement or Pension Systems must be made through the Retirement Coordinator, Mr. Leo Lawson

At the earliest consideration of retirement, all employees are encouraged to call for an appointment with Mr. Leo Lawson, Human Resources Supervisor, as soon as they begin considering retirement. At least three months are needed for the necessary preparations to begin receiving retirement income.

All requests for information regarding the status of an individual’s retirement or pension account should be made directly to the to the State Retirement Office by calling toll free 1-800-492-5909. A State Retirement Counselor will assist you
