Earlier retirement for eligible sheriffs' fund members

The law adds an earlier retirement option for Sheriffs' Pension and Relief Fund members. Your first job qualifying you for fund membership must have started on or after January 1, 2012. You must qualify for deferred retirement, be over age 50, and have at least 30 years of creditable service. Instead of deferred retirement, you can choose a benefit with the same actuarial value as your age-55 benefit. Retirement starts when the fund's board of trustees receives your written application.
