Retired sworn law-enforcement officers may be eligible to return to work full time as a retiree school security officer at a Virginia public school. Positions are full-time; and if you qualify, you will continue to receive your retirement benefits. You will not earn additional service credit , and you will not be eligible for VRS member benefits.

  • Be hired by a Virginia public school division in a retiree school security officer position.
  • Have a break in service of at least six consecutive months between your retirement date and the date you wish to work in a retiree school security officer position.

  • Not have retired with a reduced VRS benefit under an early retirement incentive program (ERIP).
  • Not have retired under the Transitional Benefits Program or the Workforce Transition Act with an enhanced monthly VRS benefit.
