The Legislative Retirement Program was established to
administer certain benefits that are available to
legislators of the State of Maine, who are members of
MainePERS. These benefits include:
• service retirement benefits, which provide income to a
member after the member retires;
• disability retirement benefits, which provides income to a
member if a member becomes disabled (as defined by
MainePERS law) while in service and before the member
retires; and
• death benefits, which are paid to a member's designated
beneficiary(ies) (or family or estate, if the member has not
designated one or more beneficiaries) if the member dies
before he/she retires. (A designated beneficiary is a person
the member has named to receive a benefit.)
These benefits, and other information about MLRS membership,
are described in the informational piece,
An Overview of Benefits for Legislative Members.
Additionally, the following link is to the law that governs
the Legislative Retirement Program.
