In order to offer first responders, corrections officers, elected officials and members of the judiciary the benefits of PSPRS-managed pension and defined contribution plans, employers must complete what is referred to as a “joinder” process.
Pension benefits are constitutionally guaranteed in Arizona and adjusted annually for inflation, providing plan retirees lifetime financial security. PSPRS-managed plans also provide disability, survivor and other benefits.
To inquire about seeking a joinder please email [email protected].
