Unless you are totally and permanently disabled, your eligibility to retire depends on two factors: your date of membership and your group classification.

If your membership date is prior to April 2, 2012 and you are a member classified in Group 1 or Group 2, you are eligible to retire at age 55 or older if you have at least ten years of creditable service. If you are a member classified in Group 4, you are eligible to retire at age 55 or older. If you have a minimum of 20 years of full-time service, you can retire at any age.

If your membership date is April 2, 2012 or later and your position is classified in Group 1, you are eligible to retire at age 60 or older if you have at least ten years of creditable service. If your position is classified in Group 2 you are eligible to retire at age 55 or older if you have at least ten years of service. Members classified in Group 4 are eligible to retire at age 55 or older. Please note that you must have performed the duties of the Group 2 or Group 4 position for at least 12 months immediately prior to termination or retirement.

If you are a member of Group 4 (public safety & specific others) you are eligible to retire at age 55 with no service requirement.

If you are totally and permanently disabled from the essential duties of your position, you may be eligible for either an Ordinary or Accidental Disability Retirement at any age.

If you are contemplating retirement, contact retirement staff for information specific to you.
