IT Infrastructure Support, Public School Employees' Retirement System
Overview
Since 1917, PSERS has been serving the public-school employees of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The number of individuals they serve have grown from 37,000 in 1919 to more than 500,000 today. Balancing stability and growth through prudent investment policies, PSERS' assets have grown from $6 billion in 1982 to approximately $75.1 billion as of December 31, 2021. PSERS was created as a defined benefit plan; a qualified trust under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. PSERS' role expanded upon the passage of Act 5 of 2017 to include oversight of two new hybrid options consisting of defined benefit and defined contribution (DC) components and a stand-alone DC plan.
