All Full-time and Part-time employees become members of the Texas County & District Retirement System (TCDRS). Members contribute 7% of their gross salary each pay period to the retirement system. Member contributions are matched by the County (2 dollars for every 1 dollar contributed) at retirement.

In order for members to be eligible to benefit from the County's matching contributions, they must have 8 years of service.

Members are eligible for retirement if they meet one of the three following criteria:

• Be 60 years of age and have 8 years of service
• Their age plus years of service = 75 (years of service must be at least 8 years)
• 20 years of service (no age requirement)

The following is a summary of the TCDRS retirement requirements, benefits and more, for you convenience -
