The Board of Retirement is SJCERA’s governing body with exclusive control and fiduciary responsibility for benefit administration and investment management of the trust fund for the exclusive benefit of members and beneficiaries. A Trustee’s fundamental duties are loyalty to the members and beneficiaries and prudence in protecting and managing SJCERA’s trust fund.
The Board sets policy for operation of the Retirement Association, makes determinations for disability retirement benefits, recommends contribution rates based on actuarial studies, controls the investment assets and authorizes the disbursement of SJCERA funds.
