Eligibility and Calculations

Eligibility for PEERS retirement is based on a combination of your years of service and age. You can be eligible for normal (full) benefits, early (reduced) benefits, or delayed benefits with a Partial Lump Sum Option (PLSO).

Normal benefits are calculated with a higher benefit factor than are early retirement options, making those benefits larger. PLSO benefits include a lump-sum payment at retirement with reduced monthly benefits.
