| If you were employed as a public school teacher within
the State of Vermont on or before July 1, 1990, you are automatically a
Group C member. If you were hired before July 1, 1990 and were a
Group B member in service on July 1, 1990, you are now a Group C member.
Group C members make annual pre-tax contributions equal to 3.54% of
pay into the trust fund, which is administered by the Board of
Trustees. Earnings on trust fund investments provide a portion of
your benefit, and the State of Vermont makes a contribution to pay the
balance of your benefit.
