Once you decide to retire and meet the eligibility requirements for monthly benefits, you must follow certain steps to begin your retirement process.

To be legally retired, you must terminate employment, live until the effective date of retirement, and not work as a member of the General Assembly at any time during the first month of retirement.

Generally, if you die before your effective retirement date, your beneficiary is ineligible for a monthly retirement allowance, based on your retirement account, except as provided under the Survivor’s Alternate Benefit.
