SPTRFA Pension Facts – Steps to Retirement

The year that you are planning on retiring, you will probably be in contact with the SPTRFA several times.  To make the process easier and more efficient, the SPTRFA recommends the following:

bulletContact the SPTRFA at least 60 days in advance of the date you plan to retire to discuss the retirement benefit process and your options. The SPTRFA provides you with the necessary documents to apply for retirement benefits.
bullet

You may apply for retirement benefits up to 90 days after your last employment date, provided that you have not returned to work with SPPS during that time.  Benefits would be retroactive to the first eligible retirement date after your last day of work.

bullet

Eligible retirement dates are the 1st and 16th of each month.

bulletQuestions regarding hospital/medical coverage, severance pay and resignation should be directed to your benefits department at Saint Paul Public Schools (SPPS) or Saint Paul College (SPC).

Period of Separation

You are not considered retired until we confirm that you have been completely and continuously separated from service with SPPS or SPC for 30 consecutive calendar days.
