Introduction
This page offers links to sections
that provide quick overviews of the retirement process for each
pension fund.
Shortcuts to
specific retirement forms appear at the bottom of this page.
Special attention is paid to the
different types of retirement under each system, eligibility requirements,
benefit calculation formulas, and the documents that are needed
to successfully apply for retirement benefits.
While discussion is necessarily kept
to a minimum in this section of the EPBAM, you can easily access
additional information through the member handbooks pertaining
to each retirement system. Links to the member handbooks
are also provided below.
Within each section, links are provided
to the specific documents required for each type of retirement.
In addition, if you follow a link
to "Instructions" for a selected document, an active
picture (an "image map") of the document appears in
your browser window. Line-by-line instructions can be accessed
by clicking on any part of the form you need help with. To
return from the "Instructions" page to the document,
just hit your browser's "Back" button.
Hit the "Back" button again to return to the
"Retirements" page.
There is sometimes a need for retirees
to waive all or a portion of their retirement allowance for specific
purposes. Instructions are available here.
