ERSRI Retirement Resources – Handbook & Beneficiary Forms

ERSRI Membership and Retirement Handbook

ERSRI’s updated Membership and Retirement Handbook provides guidance on the features and benefits of your pension plan. The information applies to Rhode Island state employees, public school teachers, correctional officers, state-registered nurses, and general employees of participating Rhode Island units of the Municipal Employees’ Retirement System (MERS).

Topics include service, contributions, retirement schedules and eligibility, service credit purchases, benefit options at retirement, post-retirement employment, and death and survivor benefits.

Beneficiary Form

At the time of hire and after major life events—such as marriage, divorce, birth, or death—members should review the beneficiary information in their ERSRI retirement account to ensure it is current. ERSRI does not receive beneficiary information from employers.
