Who Are We

The Gloucester Contributory Retirement System Board is governed by Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 32, with the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) as its regulatory authority.  Members of the Retirement System receive retirement benefits based on the requirements of Chapter 32, Supplemental Regulations submitted by the Retirement Board and approved by PERAC and/or in compliance with policies adopted by Retirement Board members.

The Board is administered by a Five  Member Board consisting of two elected members who shall be elected by the members in or retired from such service, one member appointed by the Mayor, one member appointed by the other four members who shall not be an employee, retiree, or official of the governmental unit who shall be chosen by the other four, and one ex-officio member.  The Board normally meets the last Wednesday of each month.
