FAQ

One frequently used rule of thumb for retirement spending is known as the 4% rule. It's relatively simple: You add up all of your investments, and withdraw 4% of that total during your first year of retirement. In subsequent years, you adjust the dollar amount you withdraw to account for inflation.

If you have at least five years of Credited Service your pension vests automatically, which means you can collect a Vested Retirement Benefit at age 63. If you have less than 10 years of Credited Service, you may request a refund of your contributions, plus 5% compounded interest.

Eligibility. Tier 1 members may retire at any age with 35 years of service, or at age 55 with five or more years of service.

With 20 years of creditable service, you will receive a retirement benefit of 50 percent of your Final Average Salary (FAS).

For the full retirement benefit, you must be 62 years old at retirement or, if you have 30 years of credited service, you may retire as early as age 55. With less than 30 years of service, you may retire as early as age 55, but you will receive a reduced benefit.

The Benefit If you retire with 20 or more years of service credit, your retirement benefit will be 2 percent of your Final Average Salary (FAS) for each year of service credit. With less than 20 years of service credit, your benefit will be 1.66 percent of your FAS for each year of service credit.

Tier 3 and Tier 4 Members Meanwhile, Tier 4 includes those who joined between September 1, 1983, and December 31, 2009. In both tiers, members can retire at age 62 with full benefits, though they may retire as early as age 55 with reduced benefits if they have completed at least five years of service.

What Is the Rule of 55? Under the terms of this rule, you can withdraw funds from your current job's 401(k) or 403(b) plan with no 10% tax penalty if you leave that job in or after the year you turn 55. (Qualified public safety workers can start even earlier, at 50.)

Age may be just a number, but that number matters when it comes to retiring. The common definition of early retirement is any age before 65 — that's when you may qualify for Medicare benefits. Currently, men retire at an average age of 64, while for women the average retirement age is 62.

With 20 years of service credit, you can apply for early retirement regardless of your age. The early retirement benefit equals 42 percent of your FAS for 20 years of service credit plus an additional 4 percent of your FAS for each year of service (or prorated portion thereof) beyond 20 years.

For the full retirement benefit, you must be 62 years old at retirement or, if you have 30 years of credited service, you may retire as early as age 55. With 20 years of service credit, you can apply for early retirement regardless of your age.The following is a summary of rules for a service retirement benefit, which can vary based on your tier, age, earnings and service credit. You can receive Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62. The full retirement age can range from 55 to 63, although police and firefighters may be eligible to retire even earlier. The employer must demonstrate that there is an urgent need for your services or that there are no available, qualified non-retired persons to fill the position. "Early retirement age" shall mean age fifty-five, for general members, and the age on which a member completes or would have completed twenty years of service. If you chose to leave public employment, you would be able to apply for a vested retirement benefit once you turn 55. Early retirement benefits will continue to be available at age 62, but they will be reduced more. If you leave covered employment before reaching retirement age, you may be eligible for a Deferred Pension.
