PLD Retirement Planning Sessions

MainePERS offers three types of presentations for members of PLD Retirement Plans:  Intro to PLD Plan, Ready to Retire and Special Plan.

The Intro to PLD Plan session provides a general overview and is open to anyone who wants to learn more about the plan.  Members do not need a retirement estimate to take part in this presentation.  Topics covered include how your retirement benefit is calculated, how service credit accrues, eligibility/vesting, and common MainePERS terms. 

The Ready to Retire session is for those who are eligible and intend to retire within the next year and who have received a retirement estimate within the past year. Topics covered include how each benefit payment option works, how benefits are paid, and other common retirement questions.

The Special Plan session provides retirement information for members participating in one of our special plans. These plans are typically limited to Police, Fire, Corrections, and EMS personnel, but these positions may also be covered by a regular plan. If you are unsure whether you participate in a Special Plan MainePERS strongly encourages you to confirm with your employer or MainePERS prior to registering. Topics covered include becoming eligible under the special plan, how your retirement benefit is calculated, and other common retirement questions.
