VRS members can get the money know-how they need using myVRS Financial Wellness . Our nationally recognized online program offers resources and tools to assist members in setting goals and making the most out of their finances and careers.

Help make a positive change in employees’ lives by pointing them in the direction of the following helpful myVRS Financial Wellness features:

Plan and save: With the Your Budget tool , members can set goals and keep their finances on track. The tool helps track monthly income, savings and any expense ranging from home and personal goods to transportation costs, debt, insurance and fun.

Learn more about their pay: myVRS users also may take advantage of the Paycheck Analyzer tool to learn more about taxes and other payroll deductions. In a secure setting, they can calculate their take-home pay and get a breakdown of each section of their paychecks.

Be ready for anything: Prepare for emergencies by determining how much to save and when with the Emergency Fund tool. This feature of myVRS Financial Wellness can help employees assess their emergency savings goal and estimate when they will reach it.

Users also can access a library of financial wellness articles, videos, 30-minute courses and more customized action plans as they pursue their financial goals.
