This section helps you deal with occupational and non-occupational injuries and illnesses. It also covers your family and medical leave benefits, as well as other benefits available to you, such as the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance. 

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 ensure you’re continuously building toward the retirement you envision.

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

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

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