Clergy & Lay Employee Pension Fund

Clergy Pension Plan

All bishops, priests, and deacons who are canonically resident in a domestic diocese of The Episcopal Church and who are not participating in The International Clergy Pension Plan must participate in the Clergy Pension Plan if the cleric receives $200 or more per month in compensation for three or more consecutive months from the same Church employer. (Clergy who are age 67 or older at ordination are exempted from this requirement and are not eligible to participate in the Clergy Pension Plan because they will not meet the five-year vesting requirement before the mandatory retirement age of 72.)
