Welcome to the Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) website! We administer ten different retirement plans which provide retirement, survivor, and disability benefit coverage for Minnesota state employees as well as employees of the Metropolitan Council and many non-faculty employees at the University of Minnesota. MSRS covers over 50,000 active employees and currently pays monthly benefits to over 20,000 retirees, survivors, and disabled employees. In addition, we administer the State of Minnesota Deferred Compensation Plan and the Health Care Savings Plan. 

Pension Health: An Accurate Scenario
The chairs of the Boards of Trustees for MSRS, PERA and TRA responded Friday, January 27, to a recent commentary by the Minnesota Taxpayers Association in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Click here for the Boards' response, and here for the original commentary.

Introducing a new savings opportunity: Roth 457(b)
The Minnesota Deferred Compensation Plan (MNDCP) offers you the opportunity to save pre-tax dollars for retirement. Beginning in 2012, you will also have the option to save on an after-tax basis through Roth contributions. The Roth doesn't change how much you can contribute nor does it change where you can invest. It gives you more control over when your contributions - and retirement income - will be subject to income tax.

State of Minnesota employees will be able to contribute Roth after-tax dollars to their MNDCP account beginning January 2012. Other Minnesota public employers may or may not choose to offer this option or need more time to adjust their payroll procedures. Ask your employer if you will be able to make Roth contributions to your MNDCP account.

To learn more about the Roth option, please see Your guide to Roth 457(b) contributions. Use this guide to make informed decisions about your long-term savings goals. In the coming months, additional information such as online calculators will be available.
