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 serve as an ERFC ambassador at Willow Oaks because I believe that employees should know about their retirement benefits from their first day as an FCPS employee. I am so grateful that FCPS provides employees with a supplemental pension plan. Being an ambassador allows me to connect with my colleagues, assist them in accessing the ERFC retirement planning resources, help them understand their retirement benefits, and answer their questions. I have enjoyed meeting folks I would not normally have met. I whole-heartedly encourage others to join the team of ERFC ambassadors!
