In an effort to provide enhanced Massachusetts State Employees' Retirement System (MSERS) member services, the Massachusetts State Retirement Board (MSRB) is pleased to provide this Educational Video Library. This media-based digital learning opportunity enables MSRB staff to provide its members with the ability to get their retirement questions answered 24/7 via short video clips. We hope MSERS members will consider this a quick, convenient and truly informative way to learn about general information related to their pension benefit.
The first MSRB educational video series is titled Understanding your Benefits, and it will include an in-depth explanation into the various aspects of the MSERS pension benefit. In the coming months MSRB staff will continue producing videos on a wide range of topics regarding your pension benefits, so check back here for new videos. Also, new videos will be announced on our Facebook and Twitter pages as soon as they become available, so be sure you are following us!
You can also check out our YouTube channel to get updates on new videos as they go live.
