When I decide to retire, what steps do I need to take?

A:  Before a member gives his/her notice to your employer, please visit the office of the Falmouth Retirement System to verify your creditable years-of-service, to receive an estimate of your retirement allowance, and to make sure that everything is in order.

Once a member decides to retire, the staff of the retirement system will provide to you the necessary paperwork.  At any time prior to his/her retirement date, a member may withdraw his/her retirement application.  Once your retirement date has come, no changes will be allowed.

Retirement applications may be submitted up to four months prior to a member’s date of retirement; however, the retirement system suggests submitting your application to our office thirty days in advance of your retirement date.
