Employer Update

Political subdivisions: Contact VRS if looking to offer hazardous duty coverage.

If you are considering adding enhanced hazardous duty benefits for employees beginning July 1, 2023, contact VRS now to begin the process. Because this benefit requires an actuarial study, it takes approximately four to six months to complete the process before the coverage can become effective. For more information, contact ZaeAnne Allen, employer coverage coordinator, at zallen@varetire.org or 804-775-3514.

Submit VRS forms and documents securely with Zix.

Any VRS form or related documents that you previously faxed to VRS can be sent using Zix, a widely used source for encrypting and decrypting emails. Our Using Zix to Send Encrypted Email job aid shows you how to register your Zix account. Contact VRS Employer Support if you have any questions.
