Employer Update

For those just starting in VRS-covered positions, learning about benefits may be overwhelming at first. The VRS Member Guide makes it easier for you to counsel and guide new employees on their benefits.

This easy-reference booklet briefly describes each VRS plan, principal benefits and how to contact VRS. The guide:

• Explains VRS plan information in simple terms with action steps members can take now.
  • Register their myVRS account.
  • Set voluntary and deferred compensation contributions.
• Guides members to plan resources online, including:
  • Where to find their plan’s Handbook for Members.
  • The Hybrid Plan Learning Channel, where members of the Hybrid Retirement Plan can watch a series of short videos to learn more.
• Provides a timeline for acting on other benefits, like purchasing prior service and signing up for optional group life insurance, if eligible.
