STATE OF MAINE ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE COMMITTEE ON LABOR AND HOUSING
February 9, 2022
The Honorable Troy D. Jackson President of the Senate
The Honorable Ryan M. Fecteau Speaker of the House
130th Legislature State House Augusta, ME 04333
Dear President Jackson and Speaker Fecteau:
Please accept this letter as the report from the Joint Standing Committee on Labor and Housing regarding its review and evaluation of the Maine Public Employees Retirement System under the State Government Evaluation Act, Title 3, Maine Revised Statutes, chapter 35. The Committee wrote to MainePERS on June 30, 2021 to notify MainePERS of the Committee’s intent to review the agency as part of the Government Evaluation Act. In a subsequent letter on September 29, 2021, the Committee wrote to request more information related to the MainePERS disability program, specifically MainePERS’disability team’s policies and procedures. The Committee received the report from MainePERS on November 1, 2021, as required by statute. MainePERS presented the report to the Committee on January 12, 2022. At this presentation, as well as through a variety of testimony presented to the Committee on bills effecting MainePERS’ disability law, the Committee heard concerns about the manner in which MainePERS’ disability division operates and processes claims. The Committee was pleased to hear from the newly hired Chief Executive Officer Dr. Rebecca M. Wyke that one of her priorities is spearheading and implementing a culture change within MainePERS, including in its disability division, and that Dr. Wyke intends to incorporate this in a strategic planning process. The Committee requests that MainePERS documents the changes made within MainePERS and actions taken to effectuate this culture change. The Committee requests updates on the progress made toward this goal at the Committee’s biennial agency orientation and as further requested by the Committee. Specifically, the Committee is interested in employee feedback on culture change initiatives and the systems and processes in place to measure real experiences of MainePERS’ members. At this time, the Committee finds that MainePERS is operating within its statutory authority.
Sincerely,
S/Sen. Matthea Daughtry Senate Chair
S/Rep. Michael A. Sylvester House Chair
