Correctional Employees Retirement Plan

After an employee has been assigned to the Correctional Plan and MSRS' eligibility staff has determined that the assignment is correct per Minnesota Statutes, MSRS requests the Department of Corrections (DOC) human resources to certify that their employees meet the requirements for inclusion in the plan. The Department of Human Services sends MSRS a list of certified employees for inclusion in the plan.
 

State Patrol Retirement Plan

When an employee is assigned to the State Patrol Retirement Plan and MSRS' eligibility staff has determined that the assignment is correct per Minnesota Statutes, MSRS sends Form SSA-1945, "Statement Concerning Your Employment in a Job Not Covered by Social Security"  to the employee as notification that the employee does not pay FICA tax. The employee must sign and return the form to MSRS. MSRS places the form in the employee's MSRS file.
