ACERA offers one-on-one Ready-to-Retire counseling sessions to members who are within 6 months of their planned retirement date. If you’re not yet within that timeframe, you can still receive personalized guidance—our Member Services representatives are available during business hours by phone or email to answer your questions and help you plan for retirement.
We encourage you to schedule your Ready-to-Retire Counseling Session 3–6 months before your retirement date. Your session will take place during the 90 days before your retirement date. During the session, ACERA will review your retirement application, retirement benefits, payment options, and available deductions. You may also complete related forms.
Note: The counseling session alone does not initiate the retirement process. To retire, you must submit a retirement application to ACERA within the 90-day period before your retirement date.
