The Maine Public Employees Retirement System (MainePERS) was established to administer certain benefits that are available to employees of the State of Maine who are members of the System . 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.)
