The winter 2017 edition of the Retirement Outlook newsletter is now available. The newsletter provides valuable information on Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) programs, benefits, and services. DRS programs include the PERS, TRS, and LEOFF retirement plans. In this edition you will find:
- Deferred Compensation Program (DCP) now offers a new percentage option
- Service credit buyback when work has been missed due to an authorized leave of absence
- Consider attending a retirement planning seminar in 2017
- Annual statements for educational employees are now available
You should review your annual statement to ensure you agree with the years of service reflected. Years of service are important when determining your future retirement benefit, and it is encouraged to address discrepancies now, rather than waiting until you are about to retire. If you do not agree with what you see reflected, please contact the Department of Retirement Systems, or HRS.
Previous versions of the Retirement Outlook newsletter are available here.
