Retiree Return to Work Policy
Under IRS regulation, a bona fide separation of employment is required after retirement from a PERS or TRS position. Retirees are also required at the time of retirement to certify that no prearrangement for reemployment in any capacity with the same employer has been made for the restricted period.
If you are under age 62, the restricted period for rehire is six (6) months after the effective retirement date. If you are age 62 or over, the restricted period is sixty (60) days after the effective retirement date.
There are consequences and potential penalties if a retiree returns to work before the restricted period elapses or for prearrangement of employment. For further information, please contact the state of Alaska, Division of Retirement and Benefits at (800) 821-2251 or visit their website at http://doa.alaska.gov/drb/employer/returntowork/index.html.
