September COVID-19 Update

The Cambridge Retirement Office is still working normal hours in order to perform all necessary functions.  Since the onset of the pandemic, the retirement office has made all payments to retirees and beneficiaries on time.  We have also processed applications from 51 new retirees since March.

We are keenly aware that many of our retirees are at higher risk of contracting COVID.  In order to prevent the spread of the virus, the retirement office remains closed to the public.  We are asking that all members continue to contact office staff via phone or email.  Any documents should be sent by mail, email or fax.  Please do not come to the office in person.

The office is staffed during the City’s business hours, from Monday through Thursday, between 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM and Fridays 8:30 AM to 12:00 Noon. Phone calls and emails will be answered during that time, and any messages sent outside of normal business hours will be returned as quickly as possible on the next business day.

For any questions regarding beneficiary changes or make-up of prior service, please contact Christopher McLaughlin at cmclaughlin@cambridgeretirementma.gov
