Retirement

The Haverhill Retirement System

The Haverhill Retirement System is one of 104 contributory retirement systems for public employees in Massachusetts.

A retirement board governs each system and all boards, although operating independently, are bound together under one retirement law, Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which establishes benefits, contribution requirements, and an accounting and funds structure for all systems.

For further information regarding the Haverhill Retirement System and its membership, please feel free to contact our office or review information on PERAC's website.

Group Classification

How are groups classified within the system?

Type of occupation, position or duties determines classification. Retirement boards assign employees to one of four specific groups based upon the classification set out in section three chapter 32.

  • Group 1: Members are officials and general employees including clerical, administrative and technical workers, laborers, mechanics, and all others not otherwise classified
  • Group 2: Certain employees with hazardous occupations, such as ambulance attendants, licensed electricians, and mental health hospital attendants.
  • Group 3: State police officers
  • Group 4: Consists of public safety officers, officials, and employees, such as police officers, firefighters, and certain correction officers.
