FAQ

Pennsylvania passed HB 577, a bill establishing Keystone Saves, in May 2023. When implemented, most Pennsylvania employers will be required to offer an IRA or other qualified retirement plan. Employers in Pennsylvania will most likely have options to comply with upcoming state mandates, including a 401(k) plan.

PSERS provides retirement benefits for all employees of public, state- supported educational institutions in Pennsylvania. The system provides a defined benefit (DB) pension, a retirement plan that typically offers a modest but stable monthly retirement income that lasts the remainder of a retiree's life.

Age 67 with at least three (3) years of credited service, or any age/service combination that totals 97 (“Rule of 97”) with a minimum of 35 years of service. Example: A member age 62 with 35 years of credited service (62 age + 35 service = 97) would total 97 and, therefore, would be superannuated.

While still popular, pension plans are less common in the private sector, having been mostly replaced by 401(k) plans. Understanding your plan type, vesting period, and benefit terms allows you to calculate your current and future benefit based on your salary history and age.

Any employee who has attained at least 10 years of credited service and attained the normal retirement age of their plan – Plans A and B – Age 50; Plan L – Age 55; Plan Y – Age 60.

CalSavers is a retirement savings program for private sector workers whose employers do not offer a retirement plan. This program gives employers an easy way to help their employees save for retirement, with no employer fees, no fiduciary liability, and minimal employer responsibilities.

It's Tax-Friendly to Retirees One of the biggest advantages to choosing Pennsylvania as your retirement state is its tax-friendliness toward retirees. Most states tax your income regardless of its source — Social Security, 401(k), pension and individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

Pennsylvania is considered one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees anywhere in the U.S. Whether you live in Philadelphia or elsewhere in the Keystone State, PA does not tax retirement income if you are age 59½ or older.

Employees may begin collecting full benefits at age 65 if they have completed 10 years of service. Those with 35 years of completed service may retire as soon as the sum of their age and years of service total 92. Employees are required to contribute 6.25 percent of their salaries each year to the plan.

The one fundamental drawback of a personal pension plan is that you can't access it without incurring potentially damaging costs and fees before the age of 55. Plus, some plans don't have access to Pension Freedom features and will need to be transferred if you want to do this when you reach this age.
