Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) Pension Plan
The City of Irving is a member of Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS) a statewide, multiple employer agent plan. In an agent plan, each participating government’s pension is centrally administered and governed by state statutes but the assets and related pension liabilities for each government are accounted for separately and any unfunded liabilities are solely the obligation of that government. Irving has chosen from a menu of plan options as authorized by the TMRS statute. Irving’s plan provides the following benefit level:
- Employee contribution rate: 7% of pay
- Matching ratio (city to employee): 2 to 1
- Years required for vesting: 5
- Service retirement eligibility (age/years of service): 60/05, 0/20
- Updated Service Credits: 100% repeating, transfers
- Cost of Living Adjustments: 30% of CPI, repeating
Upon retirement the employees account balance including interest is combined with the employer match to price a lifetime annuity based on the employee’s age at retirement.

Contributions
Actuarially Determined Contribution (ADC) rate - A target or recommended contribution to a defined benefit pension plan for the reporting period, determined in conformity with Actuarial Standards of Practice based on the most recent measurement available when the contribution for the reporting period was adopted.
As outlined by Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 4, Document No. 173, guidance provided to actuaries is provided either on a basis of periodic costs (i.e., a fixed contribution rate) or actuarially determined contributions (ADC). As IFRRF is funded based on a fixed contribution rate, no actuarially determined contribution rate was calculated or used. As such, no ADC has been presented above.
