Questions about Retirement?
MASSP is meeting with the director of the Michigan Teachers Retirement office Friday morning.
Why Friday morning? It’s the morning after the Governor delivers her 2010/11 budget. We’ll learn the details of the proposed retirement changes.
What do you hope to accomplish? MASSP plans to make a podcast with Phil Stoddard, director of the state of Michigan's Office of Retirement Services. The purpose of the podcast is so our members can listen as the Director answers questions regarding the Governor’s proposals.
When will this information be available? If all works well, Friday afternoon MASSP members and others will listen to the retirement director answer our questions.
Do you have a specific question? What are some questions you would like asked? Just let us know!
