MainePERS and Freedom of Information
Request |
|
|
|
MainePERS is an agency authorized by the
State of Maine to administer public
retirement plans, disability retirement
programs, and group life insurance.
MainePERS is required to and complies
with the State of Maine’s freedom of
information law, known as the
Maine Freedom of Access law.
MainePERS must provide information upon
request that is subject to the law, such
as member name, salary and retirement
benefit payments. We do not provide
information that is excluded from the
law such as personal address, other
personal identifying information, or
beneficiary information.
MainePERS receives requests throughout
each year for information. If a request
is specific to an individual, we notify
that individual before releasing the
information. If a request involves all
members or a grouping of members, we are
not able to notify each member
individually.
In the past few months we have received
requests for retirement information from
retiree groups, the Maine Heritage
Policy Center, Portland Press Herald and
the Kennebec Journal. |
