The CPRB of West Virginia administers pension and other benefits for substantially all public employees in the state. The Board maintains a defined benefit plan for teachers (TRS) that was closed to new members from July 1, 1991 until reopening in 2005. Teachers hired during that period were enrolled in a defined contribution plan. In 2007, teachers in the DC plan were given an opportunity to switch to the TRS plan. The CPRB also administers the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS), a DB plan for state and local government employees; a judges' DB plan; and DB plans for state and local public safety personnel. Assets are managed by the state Investment Management Board.
