Working After Retirement

ERFC-Covered Position

If you retire and return to an FCPS position that's covered by ERFC (including a critical shortage position), your ERFC benefit payments will need to be suspended. In order to do that, you must email ERFC a Request Termination of Monthly Benefit (ERFC 15) the month prior to returning to eligible employment with FCPS. You'll then become an active member again and both employer and member contributions will be reinstated. When you leave that position and re-retire, you're pension will be reinstated.

Please Note: If you don't submit an ERFC 15—leading to an excess pension payment—you must repay ERFC the overpayment amount received. 

Non-Covered Position

If you retire and return to an FCPS position that's not covered by ERFC, such as a part-time teaching position, your ERFC retirement benefits will continue without interruption during your period of re-employment.
