By selecting MassMutual as your State Optional Retirement Program (State ORP) service provider, you’ve made the first step towards planning for a secure financial future.
State ORP contributions, those withheld from your paycheck and those paid by your employer, are sent directly by your employer to your State ORP account administered by MassMutual.

Yes, you’re in the right place. Welcome to Empower Retirement. Empower recently acquired MassMutual's retirement plan business. As you navigate your site, you’ll notice many of the pages still have a MassMutual logo. That’s okay; it will take some time to fully transition you to the Empower experience. We look forward to this transition and helping you pursue the future you imagine.
