Retirement
A non-member is an employee of a public or governmental entity that participates in one of the South Carolina Retirement Systems’ plans, but either elects not to or is not required to contribute a set percentage of his or her wages into a pension plan. A non-member does not earn service credit and is not entitled to a defined benefit retirement annuity unless he is already receiving an annuity due to past participation.
