Summary: The Post Retirement Employment Program allows classified and unclassified employees who are covered by the Minnesota State Retirement System (MSRS) or the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) to retire and return to part time employment for up to five (5) years without a reduction in his/her retirement annuity.  The employer will also make a contribution to the employee’s Health Care Savings Plan (HCSP) that the employee may use to help cover the cost of post-retirement insurance premiums after final separation from state employment.
