Starting with the 2019 filing period, the Act 205 reporting forms will now be required to be submitted online through the Department of Community & Economic Development’s Municipal Statistics website: https://munstats.pa.gov/forms/login.aspx.

Beginning April 1, 2023, municipalities and authorities will be able to log in and submit a Plan Declaration, certifying whether or not your municipality maintains a pension plan for its employees and/or retirees. The Plan Declaration must be submitted no later than October 15, 2023.

The Act 205 Actuarial Valuation Reports will become available after the Plan Declaration has been submitted to MPRP. For the 2023 filing period, the actuarial reporting form(s) must be submitted by March 31, 2024.
