As an active employee with L.A. County you have the opportunity to participate in a LACERA defined benefit retirement plan. Throughout your county career we will communicate with you on the latest retirement information, laws, procedures, and service options, through our quality newsletters, workshops, our 800 number, public counter, and lacera.com.

This section contains information about transferring between retirement plans, rollovers, purchasing service credit, withdrawals, vesting, disability, and the retirement process. To view details about your specific plan, visit the Plan Book Section.

When you retire, you have several retirement options to select from: Unmodified, Unmodified+Plus, Option 1, Option 2, Option 3 and Option 4.  The option you choose will affect the amount of your retirement allowance.
