FAQ

The ASRS provides a fixed monthly benefit upon retirement, determined by a formula. The benefit formula is based on your length of service (credited service) under the ASRS, multiplied by a percentage of the average monthly amount of earnings (compensation).

To reach the ASRS, call: 602-240-2000 from within metropolitan Phoenix. 520-239-3100 from within metropolitan Tucson. 800-621-3778 from outside the Tucson and Phoenix areas.

The member must submit an application for retirement as with any retirement situation. Normal retirement is defined as either (1) reaching age 65, (2) reaching age 62 along with at least 10 years of ASRS service credit, or (3) earning at least 80 points.

Any member can retire at 65 years old, but you can retire with a reduced benefit as early as 50 years old as long as you have 5 years of service credits.

When it comes to retirement, ASRS members are “vested” from the date their first contribution is received. Members may keep their funds on account with ASRS until they meet their normal retirement criteria, at which point they can retire, even with only 1 month of service.

At age 65; or • At age 62 with 10 or more years of credited service; or • At any combination of years of credited service and age totaling 80 points. If you are at least 50 years of age and have five or more years of credited service, you are eligible for early retirement.

Yes; membership in the ASRS is mandatory if you work for employers who are part of the ASRS and meet membership criteria. A couple of exceptions: 65+ Waiver. If you're new to the ASRS and 65 or older on your first day of employment, you can waive ASRS membership.
