About Us
The North Carolina Retirement Systems (NCRS) is a division of the Department of State Treasurer. NCRS administers the pension benefits for state and local government employees.
NCRS also administers the NC 401(k) and NC 457 Plans. These supplemental retirement savings accounts are designed to help public employees in North Carolina achieve their retirement goals.
Whether you are new to public service or you have been retired from a state or local government employer for decades, understanding your pension benefits is important, and we are here to help.
The first step is to create an ORBIT account so you can manage your pension account. Thank you for your service to the citizens of North Carolina!
