School Eligibility Flow Chart

Individuals who have started drawing a retirement benefit must incur a 180 calendar day, bona fide break in service at ALL participating school districts, ESU's, and state agencies. During this 180 day period, retirees can only provide "unpaid voluntary" or "substitute" service on a limited and intermittent basis. Failure to meet this criteria will result in cessation of benefits and repayment of any benefits issued.
