If you are a newly appointed or elected official who does not have an active, inactive, or retired account with the EORP or ASRS, you are required to pay into the Elected Officials’ Defined Contribution (DC) Retirement System (EODCRS) plan.  Employee and employer contributions and earnings are immediately vested in this Plan.  For an outline of this DC plan currently administered by Nationwide Retirement Solutions, see AZ PSPRS 401a Elected Officials Plan Overview. You will also need to contact your employer to begin making contributing to the plan and will also need to complete an EODCRS Nationwide Enrollment Form.  For additional rate and Retirement Path information, see EODCRS
