Established in 1953, the Arizona State Retirement System is a mandatory retirement program for most public employees in Arizona, including those working for the State, counties, municipalities, universities, community colleges, and school districts. The ASRS is a defined benefit plan, designed to provide a lifetime monthly benefit to its members upon retirement. Its mission is to provide a sustainable and secure retirement for its members by prudently managing the system's assets, which are invested across a diverse portfolio, and administering benefits and programs with a focus on exceptional customer service.
