Benefits

NC Retirement System The North Carolina Retirement System provides the foundation of retirement income for employees who have a career in public service. The mandatory contribution by an employee to help pay for the benefit is 6% each pay period.

To be eligible for retirement benefits the employee must contribute to the plan for at least five years to receive a monthly benefit at age 60. Employees who contribute for 20 years are eligible to receive benefits at age 50, and those contributing for 30 years are eligible to receive benefits at any age.

Employees hired on or after August 1, 2011, would need 5 or more years of vesting period for TSERS retirement benefit eligibility for vested deferred, early and service retirement. Retirement is based on a Defined Benefit Plan 401(a) where employee benefits are sorted out based on a formula using factors such as salary history and duration of employment. Investment risk and portfolio management are entirely under the control of the State Retirement Plan. There are also restrictions on when and how you can withdraw these funds without penalties.

Disability Eligible employees are covered under the Disability Income Plan if they are (or become) a State teacher or State employee and they are in service and a member of the Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System or a participant of the Optional Retirement Program.

Disability under the Plan is the mental or physical incapacity for the further performance of duty (the usual occupation) of a participant provided that such disability was not the result of terrorist activity, active participation in a riot, committing or attempting to commit a felony, or an intentional self-inflicted injury. Benefits from the Plan are not available for a period of 60 continuous calendar days from the onset of disability. The 60-day waiting period is determined from the last actual day of service, the day of the disabling event if the disabling event occurred on a day other than a normal workday, or the day succeeding at least 365 calendar days after service as a State teacher or State employee, whichever is later.

The monthly short-term benefit will equal 50 percent of 1/12th of your annual base rate of compensation last payable to you prior to the beginning of the short-term benefit period (for teachers, annual base rate of compensation includes any local supplement or coaches supplement) plus 50 percent of 1/12th of your annual longevity payment, if any, to a maximum of $3,000 per month.

Long-term disability benefits are payable after the conclusion of the short-term disability period or after salary continuation payments cease, whichever is later. Benefits are payable for as long as you are permanently disabled, provided you meet the requirements described below.

Supplemental Retirement Plan Deferred Compensation Plan Provides state supplemental long term retirement benefits under Section 457 of the Internal Revenue Code.

401K Retirement Plan Traditional pre-tax contributions – Pre-tax contributions are automatically deducted before any federal or state income taxes are taken out. As a result, pay is not impacted by the full amount of the contribution. These contributions grow until withdrawn. At that point, federal and state income taxes will be incurred.

Roth After-Tax Contributions Roth contributions are automatically deducted from your paycheck after taxes are paid and therefore, reduce take-home pay dollar for dollar. Roth contributions and returns grow tax-deferred and can benefit members who anticipate being in a higher tax bracket while in retirement and would rather pay taxes at today's rate. Upon retirement, members qualify for income tax free withdrawals.

State Health Plan The State Health Plan offers health benefits to all eligible teachers, state employees, retirees and other individuals identified in the North Carolina General Statutes. The Plan's mission is to provide quality health care products and services for the health and well-being of our members.

Through healthy living initiatives, the Plan seeks to empower members to make healthier lifestyle choices and to become partners in addressing their health care needs. The State Health Plan officers two health plan options: The 80/20 Plan and the 70/30 Plan. Both plans are administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina by benefits are paid by the state, not Blue Cross NC.

70/30 PLAN

This plan has lower premiums in exchange for higher copays and coinsurance. Affordable Care Act preventive services and medications are covered at 100%, which means there is no charge to you. An example of such a service included an annual physical.

80/20 PLAN

This plan has higher premiums than the 70/30 Plan in exchange for lower copay and lower coinsurance. In addition, the deductible is lower on this plan than the 70/30 Plan. with this plan, Affordable Care Act preventive services and medications are covered at 100%, which means there is no charge to you. An example of such a service included an annual physical.

Life Insurance Basic Life ($10,000) and AD&D is provided to all active full time employees working 30 hours or more per week. Employees have the option to purchase additional life insurance through the Voluntary Group Term Life Insurance benefit through Companion Life Insurance Company.
