The Employees' Retirement System was established in 1941 to
provide a plan of retirement for, and administer pensions to, retired
State employees. The System is directed by a board of seven trus-
tees, four of whom are ex officio; of the other three, one is appointed
by the Board of Public Works for a four-year term, and two are
elected for four-year terms by the State employees who are mem-
bers of the Retirement System. Not included within the Retirement
System are the faculty members of the State teachers colleges, Mor-
gan State College, and the University of Maryland, who are mem-
bers of the Teachers' Retirement System; the uniformed personnel
of the Maryland State Police, who have their own retirement plan;
and certain other groups of State employees as defined by law (Code
1951, Art. 73B). Since July 1, 1956, Social Security coverage is
administered through the Division of Social Security for all State
employees and all teachers (Code 1951, 1957 supp., Art. 73B, sec. 32).
