Benefits of Reciprocity

Both systems will consider your combined service credit for the purposes of vesting and eligibility for retirement.

Your age of entry into retirement in the subsequent system will be the age of entry into the first system. This lower age could result in a lower contribution rate in the later system.

Your date of membership in the first system will be used by the reciprocal systems to determine your plan membership in the reciprocal system.

At retirement, each system will provide you with a benefit based on the service credit in that system, the system’s own benefit formula, and your highest salary from either retirement system.
