Employees' Retirement Fund of the City of Fort Worth

The Employees' Retirement Fund of the City of Fort Worth is a public pension fund headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. Established to provide defined benefit retirement and disability income to the municipal employees of the City of Fort Worth (excluding elected officials, board members, and part-time or temporary employees), the fund is governed by a board that includes employee representation and is financed by contributions from both employees and the city. It serves eligible employees who are vested after five years of service, offering financial security in retirement. The system dates back to at least 1945, with ongoing adaptations to contribution rates and benefits as determined by the city council and employee votes. Employee count and staff dedicated specifically to the pension fund are not publicly listed; most administration appears to be managed by city HR.
