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.
Latest updates:
On March 17, 2021, the federal government announced that the federal tax filing deadline will be moved from April 15, 2021 to May 17, 2021. Therefore, May 17, 2021 will be the new deadline for disability retirees to submit their 2020 Annual Statement of Earned Income. Read the state memo.
