I work for the Town of Falmouth. Do I have to join the Falmouth Retirement System?

The Falmouth Retirement System, as well as the 100+ other public retirement systems within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is governed by Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 32. Membership in the Falmouth Retirement System, a contributory retirement system, is mandatory for most Town of Falmouth public employees who are regularly employed part-time or full-time. Seasonal, intermittent and those employed less than part-time are usually barred from membership.
