A member with 5 years of credited service is eligible to apply for an Age and Service retirement annuity from ATRS by meeting one or more of the following requirements:
- 5-24 Years of service at age 60
- 25 or more years of service at any age*
* Members retiring with 25-27 years of service under the age of 60 are subject to Early Retirement reductions
The reduction is the lessor of
- 10% for each year the member lacks having 28 years of service, or
- 10% for each year the member lacks being age 60.
PLEASE NOTE:
- An active member who is eligible for Age and Service Retirement is not eligible for Disability Retirement.
- Purchase Service accounts must be paid in full prior to your retirement date for the purchased service to be included in your retirement annuity calculation.
