Effective January 1, 2022, eligible MSRS retirees and other benefit recipients will receive a 1% post-retirement pension benefit increase. Exceptions: Retirees covered under the Correctional and Judges Retirement Plans will receive a 1.5% increase.

Pension benefit recipients will receive a letter in mid-December to confirm their benefit increase amount for 2022.

Starting in early December, the letter will be available in your electronic file cabinet. Follow these instructions to view and download your letter:

  1. Login to your account online. Note: If you do not have login credentials, select the New User/Need Help link in Login box.

The post-retirement benefit increase is established in Minnesota law and occurs each January. The increase is prorated the first year after retirement and is based on the number of full months a retiree was retired during the previous fiscal year, which ends June 30. After the initial prorated increase, the retiree will receive the full benefit increase amount in subsequent years.
