This section covers Workers’ Compensation and your other occupational injury-related benefits, as well as returning to work and your vocational benefits.

If you’re beginning your career with the department or catching up on your retirement planning, read the “Road to Retirement” section. It includes helpful checklists you can use throughout your career to help you continuously build toward the retirement you envision.

If you’re approaching retirement or have decided to retire, read the “Getting Ready to Retire” and “Retiring” sections.

Unfortunately, some members are forced to temporarily stop working or retire earlier than planned due to a debilitating injury, illness, or other life-changing event. The “Injury, Illness, and Leave” and “Long-Term Disability” sections address these situations. 

We’ve also included a glossary and a list of contact information for our primary providers of retirement-related benefits.
