CMERS is a multi-employer pension plan that is administered by the Connecticut State Retirement Commission and operated in accordance with the provisions of Title 7 of the Connecticut General Statutes. CMERS has been serving Connecticut's municipalities since 1947. The mission of CMERS is to be the guardian of the municipal retirement system it administers for the benefit of the members, retirees and beneficiaries of that system. This mission is accomplished through CMERS' core responsibilities which include pension administration, the collection, reconciliation and disbursements of contributions.
