Plan for Retirement

The City of Seattle Employees' Retirement Office has two major functions: administration of retirement benefits and management of the assets of the Retirement Fund. Employee and employer contributions as well as investment earnings provide funding for the System. The provisions of the plan are set forth in Chapter 4.36 of the Seattle Municipal Code. The plan is a "defined benefit plan," which means an employee's salary, years of service, and age at the time of retirement are used to determine the amount of retirement benefits. Retirees are given a choice of several payment options. The Retirement Office is led by a seven-member Board of Administration, and an Executive Director appointed by the Board.

The Mission of SCERS is to fulfill the promise made to our members by delivering the retirement benefits they have earned.
