ERS Group 4 Retirement Benefit Plan
ERS Group 4 Retirement Benefit Plan for State Employees Hired on or after Sept. 1, 2022
The ERS Group 4 cash balance retirement benefit is for state employees hired on or after Sept. 1, 2022.
This ERS retirement plan may limit the ability of some TRS members to transfer service between retirement systems.
Employees who fall under the ERS Group 4 plan are not eligible to transfer ERS service to TRS or TRS service to ERS. ERS Group 4 plan members can only use their ERS service credit with the Proportionate Retirement Program. See the TRS Benefits Handbook or the Proportionate Retirement webpage for more information.
In addition, if you previously worked for an ERS-covered employer, withdrew your ERS account, and were not an ERS member as of Aug. 31, 2022, you will not be able to repurchase your ERS service for the purposes of transferring that service to TRS.
Group 1, 2, and 3 plan members can continue to transfer service between ERS and TRS.
TRS is not able to answer questions regarding your ERS group membership status. You will need to contact ERS directly regarding any questions.
