As part of the Early Retirement Incentive Program (ERIP) ordinance, Active LACERS
Members will pay some of the costs of the program through increased contributions that will be deducted from their pay.

The first group to see an increase in their contributions was Active Members hired before 1983. Their contributions ranged from 2% to 6%. This group’s contributions rose to 6% the pay period following the ERIP ordinance effective date. Their 6% contribution is equivalent to what Active Members pay who were hired on and after January 1, 1983.

The next contribution increase – an additional 1% – will begin on July 1, 2011, bringing all contributions to 7%.

The contributions will be adjusted back to 6% on June 30, 2026, or when the ERIP cost obligation has been fully paid, whichever comes first.
