MSEP 2011 Vesting

I was hired on June 30th 2014 and I was told I was vested at 10 years of service. Due to this change am I now vested at 5 years instead of 10?

Yes, if you continue working until you have five years of service, you will be vested. At the time you were hired in 2014, vesting for members of the MSEP 2011 (those first employed in a MOSERS benefit-eligible position on or after January 1, 2011) was ten years. Last year, the Governor signed legislation which changed the vesting requirement to five years, effective January 1, 2018. MSEP 2011 members must be actively employed on or after 1/1/2018 to be covered by this change. The changes were summarized on our legislative page and in this article about the vesting change on our website. Keep in mind, the longer you work, the more credited service you will have and the higher your pension benefit will be.
