Who Virginia Retirement System is.
- Historical Background
- The Virginia Retirement System (VRS) was established on July 1, 1942, evolving from the state's first public retirement plan, the Retired Teachers' Fund, which was created in 1908. On March 1, 1952, the system was reconstituted as the Virginia Supplemental Retirement System to incorporate Social Security benefits, making Virginia one of the first states to do so.
- Source of Capital
- The system's capital is sourced from the contributions of Virginia's public sector employees, including state and local government workers, teachers, and school administration staff. As an independent state agency, it administers pension plans, retirement savings plans, and other benefits for its members.
