About Us
Worcester Regional Retirement System
serving the County of Worcester Massachusetts
For over 100 years the Worcester Regional Retirement System has provided benefits to the public employees and retirees of 100 governmental units throughout Worcester County. As one of 104 public employee retirement systems within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Worcester Regional Retirement System operates under and administers the provisions of the contributory defined benefit plan established by Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Governed by a 5 member Board of Trustees, the plan has close to 13,000 members and over $625 million dollars in assets.
The Worcester Regional Retirement System partners with the Massachusetts Pension Reserves Investment Management Board (PRIM) to help manage and invest our assets. PRIM oversees the Pension Reserves Investment Trust (PRIT) Fund, which is designed to maximize long-term returns while maintaining prudent risk management for public retirement systems across the Commonwealth. Through this collaboration, we ensure that our members’ retirement funds are invested responsibly and strategically for future security. Click HERE for their website.
