Introduced by: R. Steven Landes | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Retirement System; withdrawing employers. Authorizes the Virginia Retirement System ("VRS") to enter into an agreement with a VRS employer to assume the pension liabilities of an employer who withdraws from VRS. Retired members of the withdrawing employer shall have their retirement allowances paid by the employer who agrees to assume such liabilities. Vested members of withdrawing employers who are not retired can elect to either cash out or have their retirement allowances paid by the employer agreeing to assume such liabilities.
In general, the employer who agrees to assume the pension liabilities of a withdrawing employer shall receive from VRS 105 percent of the present value of the remaining pension liabilities after cashing out by vesting members. Such funds shall be paid from the withdrawing employer's VRS pension accounts and shall be used to pay the pension liabilities for former VRS employees of the withdrawing employer. Any remaining funds in the VRS pension accounts of the withdrawing employer shall be distributed to VRS employers who provided funding to the withdrawing employer.
