Hazardous Duty Supplement Increases July 1
Effective July 1, 2007, the hazardous duty supplement increases from $10,704 to $11,508 per year, or from $892 to $959 per month. The increase will be reflected in the August 1 benefit payment and remain in effect through June 2009.
Members retiring with at least 20 years of hazardous duty service from the State Police Officers’ Retirement System (SPORS); as VRS-covered sheriffs; or from political subdivisions that have elected enhanced hazardous duty coverage, including local full-time, salaried sworn law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and jail officers of regional jails and authorities, are eligible for the hazardous duty supplement effective with their VRS retirement date until their full Social Security retirement age.
Members retiring with at least 20 years of hazardous duty service from the Virginia Law Officers’ Retirement System (VaLORS), who elected a 1.7 percent retirement multiplier with the hazardous duty supplement during a one-time election period, are eligible for the supplement effective with their VRS retirement date until age 65. VaLORS members retiring under a 2.0 percent retirement multiplier are not eligible for the hazardous duty supplement.
The VRS independent actuary determines the supplement amount.
