Defined Contribution Plan (DCP)

The original PERAA Plan prior to enactment of R.A. 7641. Adequate for schools joining PERAA upon institutional establishment and for schools giving immediate employee coverage.

 

Employer's Contribution is fixed and expressed as a percentage of the employee's basic monthly salary at a minimum of 3.25%.

 

Employee's Contribution is optional.


Amount of Retirement Benefit varies, depending on accumulated contributions and net earnings at retirement.

 

Other Benefits

Primary : Disability, Death, Resignation

Auxiliary: Multi-Purpose Loan, Minimum Death Benefit (MDB), Group Life
Insurance Plan (optional)

 

 

 

DCP + Reserve Fund (RF)

In addition to premiums under DCP, the employer puts up a Reserve Fund (RF), amortized over a period of time. RF is a special employer's account intended to fund employer's Retirement Benefit liability in case the Accumulated Value (AV) from DCP will not suffice. It is determined through an Actuarial Valuation.

 

Amount of Retirement Benefits is sufficient to cope with R.A. 7641 requirements.

 

 


DCP + Past Service Benefits (PSB)

On top of regular premiums under DCP, the employer adds additional premiums for past services rendered to the school prior to PERAA participation. The PSB is based on a formula adopted by the school (Ex. 4% x Basic Monthly Salary x No. of Months Credited Past Services).

 

Amount of Retirement Benefits may suffice, may exceed or may be less than R.A. 7641 requirements.
