Things to consider
Retirement Timing Basics
Understanding when you become eligible to retire and how factors like service credits or unused leave influence your pension calculation can provide helpful context as you review your benefits. In many cases, even small timing differences may affect the amount you receive or the date your benefits begin, making it important to understand the rules that apply to your situation.
Savings Overview
Many state and local retirement systems include both a pension and supplemental savings plans such as a 457(b) or 401(a). Understanding how contribution rules, withdrawal timelines, and tax treatment work can provide helpful context as you review your benefits. Even small differences in these elements may affect your long-term finances, making it important to understand the rules that apply to your situation.
Survivor Provisions Explained
Each survivor-related election in a state or local retirement system affects the level of pension income or coverage that may continue for a spouse or dependent. Understanding survivor annuity options, health coverage continuation rules, and insurance programs can provide helpful context as you review your benefits. Learning about these components early offers a clearer view of the considerations that may apply to your situation.
