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 end your employment, live until your effective date of retirement, have no intent or agreement, express or implied, to return to LGERS service, and not perform any work for an LGERS employer at any time during the month of your effective date 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.
