FAQ

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.

The percentage reduction is 5/9 of 1% per month for the first 36 months and 5/12 of 1% for each additional month.

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.

Retirement age and service credit requirements Retirement with a full benefit: Age 65 with at least five years of service credit. If you have at least 5 years of service credit and you're age 65, you can retire with a full benefit. Early retirement with a reduced benefit: Age 55 with 20 or more years of service credit.

How to find your 401(k) from past jobs Contact previous employers. It may seem obvious, but one of the quickest ways to track down an old 401(k) plan is to go directly to the source. Review past W-2 tax forms. Check your mail. Search the National Registry. Search Form 5500 Directory. State unclaimed property.

Full retirement You are eligible to retire at age 65 if you have at least five years of service credit. You are eligible to retire at age 60 if you have at least 10 years of PSERS service credit.
