BACKGROUND

In the 1930’s, the nation was grappling with the effects of the Great Depression. The Social Security Act was passed in 1938 to provide retirement income for employees in the private sector. Public employers, including the Department, also recognized the difficulty of saving enough money to provide an income after retirement or during periods of disability when employees could not work. In response, the Department established the Plan on October 1, 1938 to promote financial security for Department employees and their families.
