Estimates are based on Fairfax County Public Schools’ records and information provided to ERFC by the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) and should not be interpreted as either a promise of or contract for a given level of benefits. If it is later determined that information used in the calculation of this estimate is incorrect, the amount of the ERFC benefit may differ from the estimate. Estimates do not include any reductions required by a domestic relations order or a child or child and spousal support obligation. In the event of any conflict between this estimate and the provisions of the
ERFC plan at the time of retirement, as interpreted by the ERFC trustees, the latter will prevail.
