Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System (TSERS)

The Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System (TSERS) retirement plan is available to all employees in permanent, probationary or time-limited positions of at least 9 months and 30 hours per week.

 

The Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System is a defined benefit program. The employee contributes 6%, and the State contributes amounts that vary from year to year. State contributions fund the system and are not a part of the employee's individual account. Participants are vested in the State's contributions after five years of service. After one year of employment, members are automatically eligible for a death benefit equal to the amount of the employee's annual salary with a minimum payment of $25,000 and a maximum of $50,000.
