Service credit is the years of service you’ve earned or purchased (if applicable) that are used to determine vesting rights and retirement eligibility, and calculate your retirement allowance.

The service credit totals include all plan types (General and Safety) and Tier I, Tier II, and Tier III service. The term “Service Purchased” includes service purchase contracts completed in 2011. A purchase contract is complete after the purchase has been fully paid for. Service purchase contracts initiated in 2011 or earlier and completed in 2012 will be included in next year’s statement. “Total Years of Service” include purchased medical leave without pay service and converted service.

Your total years of service may determine your Monthly Medical Allowance (MMA) at retirement, a non-vested benefit currently provided to retired members with at least 10 years of service credit.

Your Contribution Totals as of December 31, 2011Eligible ACERA members receive a guaranteed lifetime benefit at retirement, calculated by a set formula. Employee contributions are not a part of the formula. Information about the Retirement Benefit Formula can be found on page 4 of this statement. Employee contributions are accounted for because they are refundable to you after termination of employment, if you wish to relinquish your rights to an ACERA pension. Employee contributions may also be payable to your beneficiary upon your death, if your beneficiary(ies) is/are not eligible for a continuance.

Your Retirement Allowance EstimatesThe table below shows the estimated monthly allowance you will receive at various retirement ages. If you are currently eligible to retire, estimated retirement ages are determined based on your next birthday after 01/01/13. Otherwise, they are estimated ages when you may be eligible to retire. Keep in mind that the allowance amounts shown are estimates only and do not factor the affect of inflation. If you are both a Tier I/Tier III and a Tier II member, the average salary used to determine your estimate provided below is based on a three year monthly average salary; when you retire, your Tier I or Tier III allowance will be based on your highest one year average monthly salary. If you have not been a member of ACERA for at least 36 months, your current salary as of 1/21/12 was used for the balance of the 36 months in determining your average monthly salary.

How Accruals Based on Ventura Agreement Can Add to Your PensionIf you have unused vacation hours at retirement, these accruals may add to the allowance available to you at retirement. Depending on your employer and annual accrual rate, a portion of your vacation cash out/sell back payment will be added to your final average salary calculation in accordance with and up to the limits stated in ACERA’s Ventura Agreement, which was negotiated after the California Supreme Court’s Ventura decision. The table below illustrates the increase in monthly allowance provided by your cash out/sell back payment.

Estimated Retirement Age: 30 35 40Estimated Increase in Monthly Allowance for Each Week of Vacation Cash Out/Sell Back Payment $25.14 $41.67 $60.66

How Your Retirement Allowance is CalculatedYour retirement allowance is calculated as follows:

1 Final Average Monthly Salary is calculated based upon the highest consecutive 12 months (Tier I or Tier III) or 36 months (Tier II) salary earned at ACERA or any reciprocal agency, if applicable.
