You should know that most members have to have a minimum of 10 years of full creditable service to be eligible for a state pension.

You should also know about SSA WEP. This is a program where your SSA retirement benefit can be reduced due to receiving a state pension. MA does NOT pay into SSA retirement but DOES pay into Medicare.

I did read that online, but thank you. Right now I put 10 percent into the pension and my work matches.
