Retirement is a multi-step process. The following are steps you need to follow in order to initiate your retirement from YCCD:
- Confirm your vesting benefits with Human Resources [LINK TO CONTACT US].
- Complete the YCCD application for retiree benefits. You will need to complete the YCCD Application for Retiree Benefits and the Social Security Administration form, “Request for Employment Information” which has a section that must be completed by Human Resources before being submitted to SSA. Human Resources can provide both forms.
- If you have not already done so, contact STRS or PERS, and request an appointment for retirement counseling. They will review service credits, and the appropriate retirement formula.
- After speaking with STRS or PERS, and having identified a retirement date, submit the District Resignation Form (HR-P-310) and the District Exit Processing Form (HR P-311) The resignation date must be the day before the retirement date.
- Apply for Medicare Parts A & B including any covered dependent who is 65 years or older as of your retirement date. Apply in person at a Social Security Office or online. The toll-free number of the Social Security Administration is 800-772-1213. The website is www.ssa.gov.
