Proportionate Retirement Program (PRP)
Allows you to combine service credit from two or more retirement systems to help you meet retirement eligibility. Your annuity payments would directly reflect the amount of service credit you have in each system. You must meet retirement eligibility in each system. Participating Retirement Systems:
A member of any of these retirement systems may purchase withdrawn or canceled service without being reemployed by service originator. If you are an ERS member, you may purchase canceled service from any of the retirement systems participating in the program.
Example
Let’s say you are 50 years old, with 20 years of State service. Before you came to work for the State, you worked for the City of Austin for 10 years. You are now eligible to retire with ERS (rule of 80), and retire with the City of Austin (according to their guidelines). You will receive separate retirement checks (annuities) from each system based on your service in each one.
