Sacramento City Employees’ Retirement System (SCERS) became a closed retirement system on January 28, 1977, after Measure E passed.

No supplementary employees have been added to the SCERS plan since January 28, 1977. SCERS retirement benefits for eligible retirees or designated beneficiaries are calculated based upon age, final compensation, and length of service.
