The Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS) was established to administer certain benefits that are available to employees of Participating Local Districts (PLDs) in Maine who are members of the MSRS. These benefits include:

• service retirement benefits, which provide income to a member after the member retires;

• disability retirement benefits, which provide income to a member who 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 (or family or estate, if no designation has been made) if the member dies before he/she retires. (The designated beneficiary is the person or persons a member has named to receive a benefit in such circumstances.)
