The PFRS Retired Trustee election ballots will be mailed out to PFRS retirees on or about September 15th. The NJ FMBA and FMBA Local 500 support incumbent candidate Bruce Polkowitz for this important role. Retired members can submit their votes via the web, phone, or regular mail. All votes must be submitted by November 10th. Please consider supporting Bruce, who has demonstrated an outspoken advocacy for the responsible, sustainable restoration of COLA benefits.

The PFRSNJ has launched a dedicated website and social media page via the Facebook Platform. These platforms will serve as a direct, official communications outreach source for members and system stakeholders to find information about the Fund and its operations. As the team builds out the site over the coming months, members can expect new PFRS specific guidance documents, financial reporting, and minutes and agendas of Board meetings.  The website is www.pfrs.nj.gov.
