Classified (Civil Service) staff are eligible for and required to
participate in one of the Washington State Department of
Retirement Systems (DRS) Plans. The plan you participate in depends
on the job you have, your prior DRS Plan membership and in certain
cases, on the choice you make.
Classified Staff, other than police officers and prior TRS members
participate in PERS 1, 2 or 3.
Full time commissioned CWU police officers participate in
LEOFF 2.
TRS 1, 2 and 3 is available only to employees
who first established membership as a certificated teacher in the
public schools.
A part-time or adjunct faculty member who has previous TRS 1
members may be required by the state to enroll in
TRS, even if their current position at CWU is not considered benefits
eligible. If you are a part-time faculty member with pervious TRS 1
membership, please contact the
Benefits Office immediately upon employment.
Eligibility exception If you move from a PERS eligible
position (Classified Staff) to a CWURP eligible (Faculty or Exempt) position
or vice versa, contact the Benefits Office
to determine your retirement plan choices.
