You need 5 years of service With PERS Plan 2, you need five years of service to qualify for a retirement. Once you have five years, you are a “vested” member. Five is the minimum, but you can earn an unlimited number of years to increase your pension amount.
Early retirement If you're vested, you're eligible to retire at age 65. You also have the option to retire earlier, but your defined benefit will be reduced. To retire early, you must be at least 55 and have 20 or more years of service credit. For full details about early retirement, read the PERS Plan 2 Handbook.
In the case of early retirement, a benefit is reduced 5/9 of one percent for each month before normal retirement age, up to 36 months. If the number of months exceeds 36, then the benefit is further reduced 5/12 of one percent per month.
The percentage reduction is 5/9 of 1% per month for the first 36 months and 5/12 of 1% for each additional month.
