FRANKFORT, Ky. -- (Business Wire)

The Kentucky Judicial Form Retirement System (KJFRS) launched a new website to provide its members, retirees and the general public easier access to System information. The site was built using responsive design, enabling instant access to system resources and reporting across multiple devices.

The site provides members and retirees of the Kentucky Judicial Retirement Plan and the Kentucky Legislators Retirement Plan access to a broad range of administrative and financial data, including the Plans’ summary plan descriptions, financial reports, portfolio appraisals and performance reports. In addition to these reports, the general public is able to view annual audits, actuarial reports and plan investment and expenses for heightened clarity of state government retirement funding.

The System’s Board of Trustees unanimously voted to create the site at the Board’s meeting on January 29, 2016. “While providing increased access to benefit and retirement information for our members and retirees was a fundamental goal, increasing transparency of the retirement plans and investment funds to the public was the paramount focus of this project,” stated Kentucky Court of Appeals Judge Laurance B. VanMeter, Chairman of the Judicial Retirement Investment Committee.

The Kentucky Judicial Form Retirement System site was built at no-cost to KJFRS through a public-private partnership with Frankfort-based Kentucky Interactive, LLC.
