On July 1, 1968, the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) was established to provide a uniform, consistent and equitable statewide retirement program for Arizona`s public safety personnel. Separate plans for Arizona`s elected officials (the Elected Officials` Retirement Plan or EORP) and corrections officers (the Corrections Officer Retirement Plan or CORP) were created by the legislature in 1985 and 1986, respectively. All three plans are qualified governmental pension plans under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. PSPRS and CORP are agent multiple-employer defined benefit plans. EORP is a cost-sharing, multiple-employer defined benefit plan. Retirement benefits are determined (“defined”) using a formula based on salary and years of service. PSPRS also administers a defined contribution plan, where retirement benefits are determined (“defined”) based on contributions and investment earnings on those contributions. PSPRS also administers the Public Safety Cancer Insurance Policy Program for members of PSPRS and CORP. PSPRS provides retirement benefits and programs to nearly 59,000 active members, retired members and surviving beneficiaries, and to more than 250 employers groups (municipalities, agencies and districts) throughout the state. The system maintains separate accounts for each employer that participates in PSPRS and CORP, and each employer establishes a Local Board that is responsible for determining membership and benefits eligibility in accordance with statutory provisions. Employers in EORP are pooled in a cost-sharing plan with the PSPRS Administrative Office acting as the local board. The PSPRS Administrative Office ensures that plan provisions as set in statute are followed consistently and accurately.
