Policy: BID—URS Eligibility for Elected Officials

Date Adopted: 1 October 2014

Current Review / Revision: 1 October 2014

Tier 1 Elected Officials

Under Utah Retirement Systems (URS) rules regarding elected officials, pension eligibility for Tier 1 elected officials is restricted to those who meet the minimum earnings requirement established by URS. Emery County School District has determined that our Tier 1 elected officials (School Board Members who took office prior to July 1, 2011) do not meet the minimum earnings requirement and are therefore ineligible for pension benefits.

Tier 2 Elected Officials

Under URS rules regarding elected officials, part-time Tier 2 elected officials are ineligible for pension benefits. Emery County School District has determined that our Tier 2 elected officials (School Board Members taking office for the first time after June 30, 2011) are part-time and therefore ineligible for pension benefits.
