Retirement Board

The following was designed to provide updated and accurate information to the members and beneficiaries of the City of Framingham Retirement System. This information is not intended as a substitute for the Massachusetts General Laws nor will its interpretation prevail should a conflict arise between its contents and MGL Chapter 32. Rules governing retirement benefits are subject to change periodically either by statute of the Massachusetts Legislature or by the Framingham Retirement Board.

Our Retirement System

The City of Framingham Retirement System is one of 104 contributory retirement systems for public employees within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All 104 systems, although operating independently are bound together under one uniform retirement law, Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Chapter 32 establishes benefits contributions requirements, accounting, and funding structure for the system. The Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) created by Chapter 306 of Acts of 1996 oversees these systems and ensures all board actions are in compliance with Chapter 32. Each system is governed by a retirement board.

Our Role

It is the responsibility of the Retirement Board to administer, in accordance with the law, the retirement system and provide a comprehensive explanation of rights, benefits, and regulations regarding retirement to all employees of the Town of Framingham (excluding teachers), the Framingham Housing Authority and the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA).
