VRS INFORMATION SECURITY INCIDENT
VBREA was contacted by the City of Virginia Beach Finance Department regarding an information security incident that allowed an unauthorized third party to access or acquire data from servers that included VRS. They have asked us to share this information with our members. This same information has been emailed to all VBREA members who have provided us with a valid email address. The letter CVB received is below detailing the incident. PBI Research Services began mailing letters to those affected by this incident on August 1. VBREA DOES NOT have any more information other than what is detailed below. It appears those affected will receive a letter from PBI. The letter below does state that if you wish to learn more about the issue, please visit the VRS website by clicking on the following link: https://www.varetire.org/web-policy/security-center/pbi/
The July 1 increase will be included in the August 1 benefit payment of eligible retirees. The Code of Virginia caps the annual COLA at a 3% maximum for Plan 2 and Hybrid Retirement Plan members, or a 5% maximum for Plan 1 members. During years of no inflation or deflation, the COLA will be 0%.
If you retired under the Basic Benefit or Advance Pension Option , the COLA calculation is based on your Basic Benefit amount. If you retired under the Basic Benefit with the Partial Lump-Sum Option Payment (PLOP), Survivor Option or Survivor Option with the PLOP, the COLA calculation is based on your reduced benefit amount. Read more about benefit payout options.
This information was directly from the VRS website and the VRS Retiree News newsletter that can be found at: news.varetire.org/retiree-news
