What is wvretirement.com and what does the WV Consolidated Public Retirement Board do?
wvretirement.com is the official website of the West Virginia Consolidated Public Retirement Board (CPRB). The CPRB administers ten retirement systems for West Virginia public employees, and the site serves active members, inactive members, retirees, and anyone seeking information about those plans. If you work for (or have worked for) a West Virginia public employer, this is the agency that manages your retirement benefits.
What the CPRB is
The CPRB is the state agency responsible for administering West Virginia's public retirement systems. On the site, Director Jeffrey Fleck describes it as the source for "the latest news, forms and information about the ten retirement systems that we administer," along with online self-service. The agency's stated motto is "Serve Those Who Serve West Virginia."
Who the site is for
The homepage organizes information around member status rather than around a single audience:
- Active members — current public employees covered by a CPRB plan
- Inactive members — people with service credit who are no longer working in a covered position
- Retirees — former employees receiving a pension
- General visitors — anyone researching the plans or the agency
The ten retirement systems
The site lists the plans it administers under its "Active Members" section:
| Plan | Abbreviation |
|---|---|
| Public Employees Retirement System, Tier I | PERS Tier I |
| Public Employees Retirement System, Tier II | PERS Tier II |
| Teachers Retirement System, Tier I | TRS Tier I |
| Teachers Retirement System, Tier II | TRS Tier II |
| Teachers' Defined Contribution Plan | TDC Plan |
| State Trooper Plan A | — |
| State Trooper Plan B | — |
| Deputy Sheriff Retirement System | DSRS |
| Judges Retirement System | JRS |
| Emergency Medical Services Retirement System | EMSRS |
| Municipal Police Officers and Firefighters Retirement System | MPFRS |
| Natural Resources Police Officers Retirement System | NRPORS |
Which plan applies to you depends on your employer and, for PERS and TRS, your hire date (Tier I vs. Tier II). The site's "Find Your Plan" feature is the starting point for identifying yours.
What you can do on the site
- Look up plan details — expand any plan to see information and manage benefits
- Access online self-service — account tools for members
- Download forms — including the notice on "Returning to Work after Retirement"
- Read news and notices — agency announcements and requirement changes

When this site is the right place to start
Use wvretirement.com if you need to confirm which West Virginia public retirement plan covers you, download a form, check a rule change (such as the returning-to-work requirements), or reach CPRB staff. If your question is about a federal plan, a private employer's 401(k), or a retirement system in another state, this is not the relevant agency.
