2008 RAAS (Retirement Application Assistance Sessions) Schedule
Note: Effective January 1, 2008, an additional distribution option is available when you retire from the Individual Account Program (IAP). The IAP Retirement Application includes this new option.
 
The Retirement Application Assistance Session is a one-hour appointment for members who:
 
1.  Have already attended a One-Year Group Counseling presentation 
2.  Are within three months of retirement
3.  Are prepared to submit their retirement application(s)*  
 
A Retirement Counselor will:
  • Provide a brief overview of the retirement benefit estimate (optional)
  • Provide comprehensive review of application(s), forms, and supporting documents for accuracy and completeness
  • Notarize forms (optional).
  • Explain the retirement application process.

This appointment is not a counseling session regarding your personal or financial retirement decisions. 
 
To ensure a productive session, please:
  • Request a retirement benefit estimate and bring it with you to the session. If you have not yet requested an estimate click here.

  • Complete as much of the application(s) and forms as possible prior to the session.
