SURS is a state funded pension program specified for university and community college employees. SURS requires 8% of the employee’s pay to be deducted on a pre-tax basis and contributed to the system. Eligibility for SURS will vary depending on assignment. This retirement system does not coordinate with social security and, consequently, there is no payroll deduction for FICA.

You must have 10 years of service to be considered a “vested” member. Not all contractual assignments will qualify. To learn more about SURS, please visit their website at SURS.org
