Description

A defined benefit pension plan is a type of pension plan in which an employer or sponsor promises a specified pension payment, lump-sum (or combination thereof) on retirement that is predetermined by a formula based on the employee's earnings history, tenure of service and age, rather than depending directly on individual investment returns. Traditionally, many governmental and public entities, as well as a large number of corporations, provided defined benefit plans, sometimes as a means of compensating workers in lieu of increased pay. A defined benefit plan is "defined" in the sense that the benefit formula is defined and known in advance. Conversely, for a "defined contribution retirement saving plan", the formula for computing the employer's and employee's contributions is defined and known in advance, but the benefit to be paid out is not known in advance. The Travis Texas Defined-Benefit Pension Plan and Trust Agreement is a comprehensive retirement plan established by the Travis County government for its employees. This plan functions as a defined benefit pension framework, ensuring a steady retirement income stream for participating employees. It is tailored specifically to accommodate the long-term financial needs of the county's workforce upon retirement and aims to provide financial security during their golden years. The Travis Texas Defined-Benefit Pension Plan and Trust Agreement operates by pooling contributions from both employees and the county government into a trust. These contributions are invested prudently to generate returns, which ultimately fund the pension benefits paid out to retirees. This structure is in contrast to defined contribution plans, where the retirement benefits are solely determined by the contributions and investment performance of the employee. There are various types of Travis Texas Defined-Benefit Pension Plan and Trust Agreements that cater to different employee groups within the county government. For instance, there might be separate plans for law enforcement personnel, firefighters, general county employees, and elected officials. Each plan is designed to address the unique needs and circumstances of the covered employees, accounting for their specific roles, responsibilities, and potential risks associated with their job profiles. These pension plans typically consider factors such as years of service, final average salary, and an established benefit formula to determine the retirement income. The benefit formula may vary depending on the group of employees, taking into account factors specific to their profession. Additionally, provisions for cost-of-living adjustments (Colas) may also exist to ensure the benefits keep pace with inflation. The Travis Texas Defined-Benefit Pension Plan and Trust Agreement aims to provide a reliable source of retirement income, ensuring the well-being of county employees after years of dedicated service. By offering financial stability, it seeks to attract and retain skilled professionals to serve the county government effectively. The plan's structure, provisions, and management are regularly reviewed to align with changing economic conditions, legal requirements, and the evolving needs of the workforce.
