Minnesota taxes most pension income, whether derived from governmental or private pensions, on the same basis as wages, interest, dividends, and other income.
Minnesota's New Mandatory Retirement Benefits Program Will Open in 2025. In May 2023, the Minnesota Legislature enacted a bill establishing a mandatory retirement program as part of the Minnesota Secure Choice Retirement Program (the “Secure Choice Program”).
The Rule of 90 early normal retirement age provision, where a person becomes eligible for an unreduced retirement benefit when the person's age and years of credited service equal or exceed the sum of 90, was enacted for the General Employees Retirement Plan of the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA-General) ...
Eligible (vested) after three years of service. Full retirement benefit: Typically at age 66. Reduced retirement benefit: age 55 or later, assuming you have 3 years of service.
Withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed. Wages are taxed at normal rates, and your marginal state tax rate is 2.00%.
The Rule of 90 means that your age and years of service credit must add up to 90. For example, if you began covered service at age 22 and work continuously for a covered employer, you would be eligible for service retirement at age 56 once you have 34 years of service credit.
You may receive an unreduced retirement benefit if your years of service plus your age equal 90 (General Members) or 80 (Public Safety Officers). You do not need to reach the Rule of 80/90 to retire. As long as you have reached minimum retirement age, and have at least 60 months of service, you may retire.
