ERB Plan
Defined Benefit Plan
Here at the New Mexico Educational Retirement Board we’re working hard on your behalf from the first to the last day of your career and for the rest of your life. We’ve been securing the financial futures of our New Mexico educational members past, present, and future for nearly 60 years. We are here to help you understand the benefits and services available to you.
How does the NMERB Defined Benefit plan work?
- NMERB administers a Defined Benefit (DB) qualified plan under IRS code section 401(a)
- This is a LIFETIME benefit plan for you and a designated beneficiary (depending on your benefit option choice).
