COUNTY
SERVICE AFTER RETIREMENT
Retired
members may
not be
paid for service to the County except
as follows:
- As an employee in a County position requiring special skills or knowledge
for a period not to exceed 120 working days (960 hours) in any one fiscal
year;
- As a juror, election officer, field deputy for registration of voters,
or temporarily as a judge when assigned by the Chairman of the Judicial
Council;
- As a member of the Board of Retirement or Board of Investments;
- As an independent contractor with the County;
- As an elected County official;
- As a court commissioner assigned by the presiding judge of a court.
A retired member may return to active membership in LACERA, if the member:
- Makes an application to the Board of Retirement for reinstatement;
- Is determined by the Board of Retirement not to be incapacitated for the duties assigned to the member, based on medical examination;*
- Is eligible for membership (i.e., a permanent employee working three-quarter time or more); and
- Is hired by the County**
The Board of
Retirement will cancel your retirement allowance and reinstate you to
active LACERA membership. You
must choose Plan D within 60 days
or you will automatically become a member of Plan E, regardless of your
prior plan. Your retirement allowance will be resumed only upon
your subsequent termination from County employment. If you received
an Early Separation Program (ESP) payoff, you are not eligible for rehire.
*Effective January 2, 2009, pre-placement medical examinations are waived for employees who are rehired within three months of their date of termination. Pre-placement medical examinations are waived for some employees with rehire dates within six months of their date of termination, provided the physical demands of their County Class Specifications are rated Physical Class 2. Certain exceptions apply; contact your Department for details.
**A Department must receive approval from the Board of Supervisors to permanently rehire a retiree. Members who received an Early Separation Program (ESP) payoff are not eligible for rehire.
