General Employees

1 The pre-Social Security supplement in the Fairfax County ERS is provided to normal service retirees from the date of retirement until they reach normal Social Security retirement age. The supplement is calculated using a

benefit multiplier of 1.0%.

2 Employees covered under the VRS Hybrid Plan may elect the Advance Pension Option at retirement. Under this option, the VRS annuity is temporarily increased until an age of the retiree’s choosing, between the ages of

62 and the retiree’s normal Social Security retirement age. The VRS annuity is permanently reduced once the retiree reaches the specified age.

3 Under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), an annuity supplement is paid until age 62 to retirees that qualify for an unreduced annuity. The annuity supplement is calculated by first estimating the retiree’s

Social Security benefit at age 62 based on a 40‐year career. The estimated Social Security benefit is then reduced by the fraction of a 40‐year career that was worked under FERS to determine the annuity supplement.

The annuity supplement is subject to an earnings test, and is reduced by $1 for every $2 of earnings over the Social Security minimum level of earnings. While federal employees who retiree before the age of 62 are

eligible for this annuity supplement, the basic annuity formula for those who retire at age 62 or older with at least 20 years of service uses a higher benefit multiplier than those who retire under age 62 or with less than 20

years of service.

4 Retirees in the Arlington County Employees’ Retirement System may elect a Social Security Option as an annuity payment option. Under this option, the annuity is temporarily increased either until age 62 or until the

retiree reaches normal Social Security retirement age, at which time the annuity is permanently reduced.

Public Safety Employees

1 The pre-Social Security supplement in the Fairfax County URS is provided to normal service retirees from the date of retirement until they reach normal Social Security retirement age. The supplement is calculated using a

benefit multiplier of 0.3%.

2 Fairfax County police officers do not contribute to Social Security based on their employment as Fairfax County police officers, and therefore a pre‐Social Security supplement is not included in the design of the Police

Officers Retirement System.

3 Employees covered under VRS that retire with at least 20 years of hazardous duty service are eligible for a hazardous duty supplement. The supplement is currently $13,548 per year, and is payable from retirement until

the retiree reaches normal Social Security retirement age.

4 Under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), an annuity supplement is paid until age 62 to retirees that qualify for an unreduced annuity. The annuity supplement is calculated by first estimating the retiree’s

Social Security benefit at age 62 based on a 40‐year career. The estimated Social Security benefit is then reduced by the fraction of a 40‐year career that was worked under FERS to determine the annuity supplement.

The annuity supplement is subject to an earnings test, and is reduced by $1 for every $2 of earnings over the Social Security minimum level of earnings.

5 Retirees in the Arlington County Employees’ Retirement System may elect a Social Security Option as an annuity payment option. Under this option, the annuity is temporarily increased either until age 62 or until the

retiree reaches normal Social Security retirement age, at which time the annuity is permanently reduced.
