Public employees have access to an excellent pension system. However, we all know that your pension will not replace 100% of your income in retirement. Social Security is another viable source of retirement income but it’s not meant to make up the entire “gap” left by your pension. Your pension and Social Security are a good foundation but it’s really up to you to make up the difference. Accordingly, a stable retirement is really accomplished by this simple formula:

     Public Pension
     Social Security
 + WV Retirement Plus

---

 = Stable Retirement Future
