What Is ERFC?

The Educational Employees' Supplementary Retirement System of Fairfax County (ERFC) is a defined-benefit retirement plan known as a pension. The ERFC pension supplements the primary benefits you’ll earn from the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) and Social Security.

Generally, full-time FCPS teachers, educational personnel, instructional assistants, administrators, administrative support staff, and technical staff are automatically enrolled in ERFC. Your ERFC contributions are tax deferred. This means that, as an active FCPS employee, your yearly retirement contribution lowers your taxable income.

After five years of full-time service, you’re “vested” and are eligible for an ERFC benefit when you retire.
