| As was the case the past couple years, SURS will not be offering in-person retirement counseling appointments any time this spring. Employees can schedule an appointment on the SURS website with the option to choose between a virtual or a telephone appointment. Additional information can be found at here. Please keep in mind the following information regarding eligibility for a counseling session: Employees must be within 4 years of retirement eligibility (age 55 with 8 or more years of service, age 62 with 5 or more years of service, 30 or more years of qualifying service at any age for Tier 1 employees. Age 67 with 10 years of service, or age 62 with 10 years of service with age reduction for Tier II employees). Employees are limited to one appointment (phone/virtual, in-person or written estimate) every 12 months. Employees may request up to two different dates for a retirement estimate with starting dates within the next 4 years. SURS cannot project a retirement benefit amount beyond that time frame.If you have any questions, please contact SURS at (800) 275-7877. As a reminder, SURS has many beneficial resources available on their website if you would like to learn more about your retirement benefits. In addition, if are interested in enrolling in the SURS Deferred Compensation Plan that was introduced in 2021, information can be found here. |
