The Louisiana Retirement Status Affidavit is a document used to declare that an individual is eligible for certain benefits or services from the state of Louisiana. This document is used for individuals who are retired, disabled, or are of retirement age. The affidavit is used to verify the individual’s retirement status, and is required for certain benefits or services such as tax exemptions, healthcare coverage, and retirement system participation. There are two types of Louisiana Retirement Status Affidavits: the Retirement Status Affidavit for Retirement System Participants, and the Retirement Status Affidavit for Non-Retirement System Participants. The Retirement Status Affidavit for Retirement System Participants is used by individuals who are members of the state's retirement system and are either retired, disabled, or of retirement age. The Retirement Status Affidavit for Non-Retirement System Participants is used by individuals who are not members of the state's retirement system, but are still eligible for benefits or services due to age or disability.
