Good News! If you are a full-time educational, administrative or support employee, ERFC is your supplemental defined benefit retirement plan. Your ERFC retirement benefit supplements the primary benefits you will earn from the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) and Social Security.

"
I attended an ERFC breakout session during a support employee conference and my coworkers kept asking, “Why are you in this session when you are nowhere near retirement?” I told them I wanted to be ahead of the game and learn as much as I can as a younger employee so that I’m ready when my retirement comes around. I signed up that day to become an ERFC Ambassador and it has given me the opportunity to learn more about having a pension plan so that I now enjoy helping my coworkers understand the value of their ERFC benefits.

When can I retire?

You can retire at any age if you meet the "Rule of 90". This means that the sum of your age and years worked equals 90 or more. You also can retire at Social Security age with 5 or more years worked.
Check the Social Security Benefits by year of birth.
