Philadelphia, PA
see the full file on The School District of Philadelphia| Pension | Philadelphia school support staff are covered by PSERS, the Pennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System, a defined benefit plan. Membership is mandatory — not optional — for qualifying employees of any Pennsylvania public school entity, support staff included, and is decided by PSERS rather than by the district. PSERS does not replace Social Security in Pennsylvania. |
|---|---|
| Hours a week to qualify | Pension threshold, not a health threshold: a part-time HOURLY school employee has to work at least 500 hours in a school year before PSERS membership starts; a part-time per-diem employee needs 80 days. Part-time salaried employees are members from day one. Below those lines, contributions are refunded and no pension accrues. |
Every claim above is sourced and dated. See sources on the full page.
