How do I retire?
As you get closer to retirement, consider the following:
- If you are within a year of your retirement date, request an estimate of your benefit from DRS. DRS will return a retirement application with your estimate.
- Obtain a copy of IRS Publication 575, Pensions and Annuities, also available on the IRS Web site.
Applying for retirement
You can complete the entire retirement process through the mail. Contact DRS to request a retirement application packet. (If you request a benefit estimate, you will receive an application packet when your estimate is mailed to you.)
