§ 21111 Partial Service Retirement Option

• •If you work full-time for the government and can retire soon, you might be able to work fewer hours but still get some retirement pay.
• •This is only for people who work standard full-time hours for a local government.
• •You have to be close to retirement age to do this.

A city worker named John is 60 years old and has worked full-time for the city for 30 years. He is tired of working 40 hours a week but isn’t ready to fully retire.

John can ask to work fewer hours, like 20 hours a week, and still get some of his retirement money while he works less. This way, he can slow down but still earn some pay and benefits.
