Empower administers the Meriwether County Retirement Plan.  Once any applicable waiting periods are met, Meriwether County will contribute 5% of your salary to your retirement plan each pay period and offers two match options if you choose to contribute to this plan yourself.  If you contribute 4%, the match will be 2%.  If you contribute 2%, the match will be 1%.  So, if you contribute 4%, a total of 11% will be contributed each pay period toward your retirement.  There is a 5-year vesting for the County’s contributions.
