§ 31600 Retirement Payment Installments

Key Takeaways

  • •Retirement money is paid every month in equal parts.
  • •If you start or stop getting retirement money in the middle of a month, you get paid only for those days.
  • •The amount you get for a partial month is smaller than a full month.

Example

If you retire on the 15th of the month instead of the 1st.

You will only get half of your usual retirement money for that month because you didn’t work the whole month.
