COVID-19 Virus Update

In order to try to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Cambridge Retirement Office is asking all members and retirees to minimize in-person contact with our staff.  All staff members will remain available by phone and email, and this is the best way to contact us and have any questions answered.

Monthly payments to retirees will be made on-time.  For retirees on direct deposit, funds will be available in your bank account on Tuesday, March 31.

Retirees are still required to file an annual affidavit with the Cambridge Retirement office.  These forms should be returned by mail or fax and are due by April 17.

Retirees on Accidental Disability are still required to file 91A forms with PERAC.  The deadline to file has been extended to July 15.  This was done to match the new tax filing date set by the IRS.

If you want to reach us by phone, please call us at 617-868-3401.  This line will always be monitored during our usual business hours.  Staff will also be available via email.
