Service credit you may have earned in other North Dakota state-sponsored retirement plans can be combined with your NDPERS Defined Benefit service credit for vesting purposes or achieving the “Rule”. Eligibility for retirement benefits (vesting and meeting the “Rule”) will be based on the length of service in all plans in which you have an account. NDPERS Defined Benefit (pension) benefit payments at time of retirement eligibility will be based upon credited service specific to each individual plan.
