Ready to Retire?

Deciding to retire can be stressful. The Pension & Benefits Office has prepared the Guide below to assist you in understanding the process of retiring from the DRBA.

The Guide provides a process flow so you can estimate how long it may take from the day you provide your notice, stop working, and receive your final payout until you begin to receive your first pension payment.

Note: If you are thinking of retiring within the next six (6) months, contact the Benefits Office to request Pension estimates that you can share with your Financial/Tax advisor(s) so you can make a fully informed decision before you submit your Intent to Retire letter to your Manager.
