Inactive Member

A member who is no longer employed by a public or governmental entity that participates in one of the South Carolina Retirement Systems’ plans and does not contribute a set percentage of his wages into a pension plan. An inactive member may not purchase service credit or apply for disability retirement; however, an inactive member who has not withdrawn his contributions and interest from the pension plan may apply for a deferred annuity (if eligible) upon reaching retirement eligibility.
