Why Is the MBP Important to Your Employees?

Using the promotional resources on this page, encourage Plan 1 and Plan 2 employees to view their MBP through their myVRS accounts. The MBP is your employees' annual benefit statement based on information you reported to VRS as of June 30. It provides account balance information, retirement eligibility and eligibility for other benefits, such as group life insurance and the health insurance credit.

You can direct employees to About Your Member Benefit Profile to learn more about their annual benefit statement.

Note: MBPs are currently not available for Hybrid Retirement Plan members. However, myVRS now offers additional services for hybrid members. In addition to viewing their defined benefit and defined contribution account balances from the myVRS homepage, hybrid members now have access to the Benefit Estimator in myVRS, which allows all members to enter different retirement date scenarios and see estimates, based on their combined defined benefit and defined contribution accounts.

MBP Promotional Message for Employees

Use this message in an internal communication to your employees, such as an email or newsletter:

Be the MVP in Your Retirement. Review Your 2017 MBP.

The MBP is your online benefits statement providing important information about your retirement and other benefits as of June 30. You'll find it by logging into your myVRS account. Plan your retirement strategy today!

Retirement income on target? One of the most important features of your MBP is a retirement income analysis. This feature shows a total retirement income estimate compared to a retirement income target of 80 percent of your compensation as of June 30. The retirement income estimate combines your estimated unreduced benefit and a Social Security estimate. Your analysis includes tips for "closing the gap" between your estimated retirement income and your 80 percent benchmark.

Plan 1 and Plan 2 members: View your MBP now. Go to myVRS to log in or create a secure online account.

Hybrid Retirement Plan Members: Go to myVRS to log in or create a secure online account. You can view your defined benefit and defined contribution balances and create benefit estimates. In addition, you can monitor your voluntary contributions via myVRS. A summary of your voluntary contributions percentage appears on your myVRS homepage as a reminder to maximize your employer match while saving for retirement.
