Retirement
We are the fiduciary for the Boston Retirement System, a governmental defined benefit plan.
Our board serves members and retirees of all City of Boston departments, the Boston Planning & Development Agency, the Boston Housing Authority, the Public Health Commission, and the Boston Water and Sewer Commission.
Please note:
The June retirement payments reflect health insurance rate changes. The July retirement checks disbursed on July 26, 2022, reflect a COLA increase of 3% on the first $15,000 as well as Medicare Refunds for those eligible. Questions related to the Medicare Refund should be directed to Health Benefits.
