Can I Increase My Contributions To My Retirement Account?

No. Employee contribution rates are set by law. Since your retirement benefits are calculated according to a formula, increasing your contributions will not increase your retirement allowance. If you wish to increase your retirement savings, ask your department payroll clerk about enrolling in the deferred compensation plans offered by the County. The deferred compensation plan is not connected with ACERA in any way. For more information about the County’s deferred compensation programs, contact the Treasurer-Tax Collector’s Office.
