The Arlington County Employees’ Retirement System (“ACERS”) is one of the retirement benefits offered to Arlington County employees. ACERS is a pension plan that provides you with guaranteed monthly income during your retirement. ACERS has many options that can help you meet your retirement goals. How much you will get is based on how many years you work for Arlington, your three highest years of pay, and the options you choose.
