Each fall, eligible MCPS employees receive a Personal Statement of Retirement Benefits containing important financial and retirement service information for retirement planning. Log in starting Wednesday, Sept. 25 to view your 2013 statement.
Your Personal Statement of Retirement Benefits comprises several pages, including a message from the superintendent and a statement page that shows personal data such as plan membership, the dates you become eligible for normal and early retirement, and your projected retirement benefits. It also provides information about death and disability benefits. Be sure to review all information carefully and contact the Employee and Retiree Service Center at 301-517-8100 or by email with questions.
Keep in mind that you can view, print or save your retirement benefit statement from your myMCPS account. If you have technical difficulties when logging in, contact the Help Desk at 301-517-5800.
A variety of resources are available to help you save for the future and better understand the retirement planning options. Understanding Your Retirement Statement will familiarize you with items that appear on your statement and guide you to other retirement planning resources. In addition, be sure to check your Outlook email inbox on Wednesday, Sept. 25, for the yearly Retirement Planning eNews, which contains important information about the MCPS pension plan and retirement savings options, as well as a link to log in to myMCPS to see your Personal Statement of Retirement Benefits. Links to other resources are available on the Retirement Planning web page.
