Retirement Planning

At these seminars Retirement provides an overview of retirement benefits including eligibility requirements, items that will affect your final compensation for retirement purposes, health insurance benefits at retirement and other valuable information about ICERS retirement plan to help assist you in your retirement planning.

Retiring Soon - Individual Assistance

The Retirement System recommends that each retirement system member contact the Retirement Office at least 1 year prior to their anticipated retirement date to get the individual assistance needed in planning their retirement. Members who have questions about their retirement benefits should e-mail at angieaguilera@co.imperial.ca.us or call the Retirement office at (442) 265-7550 to get the proper information.
