The retirement benefit you receive from the Municipal Employees Retirement System (MERS) may be affected if you are currently employed by a city, a town, or a municipal district, board or authority within the State of Connecticut. If you are employed by a Connecticut municipality, you may continue to receive your MERS benefit, but only if:

1. You work fewer than 20 hours per week and/or fewer than 90 days in any calendar year; or

   
   

2. Employees in your position are not eligible to participate in MERS.

 

Each CMERS retiree must complete an affidavit to confirm whether or not he/she is reemployed. Please complete the survey affidavit below and submit it by May 31, 2025. Failure to respond by this date will result in the suspension of your retirement benefit.

 

Please note: After you submit your affidavit, you must still notify the Retirement Services Division immediately of any change to your employment status. Failure to do so could result in an overpayment of retirement benefits. Any questions you have concerning this matter may be directed to the Retirement Services Division (860-702-3480).
