In 1981, the Austin Community College Board of Trustees decided the college would not participate in the Social Security System. Thus, for retirement purposes, ACC employees must participate in a mandatory retirement program (Need to link to the Mandatory Retirement Program page).
If an employee has participated in Social Security with another employer and is eligible for Social Security retirement or disability benefits, when they retire from ACC, their potential Social Security benefits may be affected. For additional information about this impact, please review the following documents on the Social Security Administration site:
