§ 352.925 — Vesting

Plain-Language Summary

This section defines 'vesting' for the correctional employees retirement plan. Vesting means earning the right to a future retirement benefit that cannot be taken away. Employees who started before July 1, 2010 vest after three years of service; those who started after that date vest after five years.

Practical Notes
Once you are vested in the correctional retirement plan, you have a guaranteed right to receive a retirement benefit in the future, even if you leave state employment. If you started before July 2010, you vest after three years; after July 2010, it takes five years.
