§ 22215 Retirement Service Credit Rules

• •The board decides how much work time counts toward your retirement.
• •They can change the rules about how much money you get when you retire.
• •This is for people in a special retirement plan.

If you work as a firefighter for 20 years, the board checks how many of those years count for your pension.

They might say only 18 years count because you took 2 years off. Then they decide how much money you get each month when you retire.
