State Public Pensions in District of Columbia

The District of Columbia Retirement Board administers the Police Officers and Firefighters' Retirement Plan and the Teachers' Retirement Plan for District public-safety personnel and DC public school teachers. Most other DC government employees are federal employees for retirement purposes and participate in CSRS or FERS through the federal Office of Personnel Management — not in a DC-administered plan.

State Public Pensions in District of Columbia: key facts

Plans administered by DCRB
Police Officers and Firefighters' Retirement Plan and Teachers' Retirement Plan.
Other DC employees
Most non-public-safety, non-teacher DC government employees are covered by federal CSRS or FERS through the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), not by DCRB. Survivor and death benefits for those employees are handled by OPM.
Retiree death
The benefit that continues depends on the survivor option the member elected at retirement. A surviving beneficiary may receive a continuing monthly allowance under the elected option, or no continuing benefit if a maximum single-life option was elected.
How to notify DCRB
Use the DCRB online "Report a Death" submission form, call 202-343-3200, or email dcrb@dc.gov.
