Welcome to the Norfolk County Retirement System!

My name is Joseph Connolly, and as Treasurer of Norfolk County, I have the great privilege of serving as the Chairperson of the Norfolk County Retirement Board.

Organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts effective January 1, 1937, the Retirement System has over 9500 active and retired members from forty governmental units throughout Norfolk County.  With more than $480 million in assets, it is one of the largest public retirement systems in the State of Massachusetts.

The Retirement System is governed by a five member retirement board, and is subject to the provisions of Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which provides for uniform benefits, uniform contribution requirements, and a uniform accounting and fund structure for all retirement systems. All public retirement systems in Massachusetts are overseen by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission ("PERAC"), which was created in 1996.

This website is offered to provide members, employees, retirees and beneficiaries of the Norfolk County Retirement System with information about their retirement plan and benefits.  I hope the site is used as a retirement planning tool, a source of facts and details, and that it becomes a place where all can catch-up on the latest in Retirement System news.

If you have any thoughts, comments or suggestions regarding the site, please feel free to convey them by e-mail to info@norfolkcountyretirement.org.

Again, on behalf of the Norfolk County Retirement Board and the staff of the Norfolk County Retirement System, welcome!
