§ 24311 Retirement Option Reinstatement Rules

• •If you stop getting your retirement money and then start again, your old payment choice stays the same.
• •Your old choice will be treated like you picked it before you retired the last time.
• •The rules for your payment choice are the same as if you picked it when you first retired.

Imagine you retired and chose to get smaller monthly payments so your spouse could keep getting money if you died. Then you went back to work and stopped getting retirement money. Later, you retire again.

When you retire again, your old choice (smaller payments for your spouse) will automatically start again, just like you never stopped it.
