If you are a member of the Public Employees Noncontributory or Contributory Retirement System and you plan to purchase future service credit, contact our office for an Application for Purchase of Future Service Credit. This application must be filed up to 90 days in advance of your proposed retirement date to initiate the process of figuring an exact cost. Please note: it can take up to 45 days to provide you with the exact cost.
Contact our office for a retirement application. In all URS retirement systems, you must file your application with our office no more than 90 days before, or 90 days after, your retirement date. If you plan to purchase future service credit, your retirement application cannot be filed until the purchase is complete. Refer to the Purchasing Future Service Credit brochure available at www.urs.org or by calling our office.
Check with all sources regarding payment of future service credit to ensure availability of funds.
If you are planning to work for another agency covered by URS after your retirement, contact our office before you retire. Beginning employment with another participating employer before your effective date of retirement could jeopardize your receiving a monthly benefit. Refer to the Post-Retirement Reemployment section.
If you mailed your retirement application and haven’t been notified we’ve received it, call our Retirement Benefits Department at 801-366-7770 or 800-695-4877.
