This section informs you about transferring between retirement plans, rollovers, purchasing service credit, withdrawals, and retiring from County or District service.

You can read about retirement terms and policies including tax issues, vesting, and disability.

As your retirement approaches, many considerations need to be addressed, and we offer a free half-day pre-retirement workshop to help you.  The workshop will cover the importance of choosing the right retirement date, specific forms, health care, and what factors are used to compute your monthly retirement allowance, and more!

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.
