Will my retirement automatically be effective the date that I reach retirement eligibility?
Members must apply for retirement benefits. When you begin considering retirement from COA ERS, you should contact the Retirement Office. When you become eligible for retirement (see Retirement Eligibility) and are ready to retire and choose a benefit option, you should schedule an appointment with a Member Services Specialist to complete the necessary paperwork. It is your responsibility to apply for retirement benefits. The benefits are not retroactive to the date you reached retirement eligibility. You are encouraged to apply for retirement 60 days prior to your planned retirement date. Your “Notice of Intent to Retire” must be received by the 15th day of the month of actual retirement.
