HCPSS employees planning to retire with the Maryland State Retirement Agency (MSRA) within the next two years are invited to attend one of our upcoming virtual information sessions. A timeline and steps of the retirement process will be reviewed, as well as information about unused sick leave, years of service, and the earnings limitation. Attendees will also receive information about retiree healthcare and life insurance eligibility and coverage. After the presentations, there will be a Q&A section.
Please note: MSRA and HCPSS are the only organizations that provide seminars specifically related to your retirement with MSRA and HCPSS. We have been made aware of other companies and/or individuals offering retirement-related conferences, seminars, or meetings; however, these events are not approved or endorsed by HCPSS, and may provide misinformation.
