State Employees Retirement Act

Connecticut · 5 · §§ 5-152 to 5-192y · 114 sections

Overview

The State Employees Retirement Act governs the pension system for employees of the State of Connecticut, setting out who is eligible to participate, how service is credited, and how retirement income is calculated and paid. It divides the retirement system into parts A and B, with rules for electing between them, transferring membership, and coordinating pension coverage with Social Security, and it addresses early retirement, part-time service, and minimum benefit levels. Administration rests with the Connecticut State Employees Retirement Commission, which oversees the retirement fund on an actuarial reserve basis, adopts regulations and handles claims and contested cases, and applies cost of living and other periodic adjustments to allowances paid to retired employees.
