Retirement

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR RETIREMENT!

Thank you for your service to the Department and the City of Los Angeles. The Retirement Plan Office staff is here to ensure timely payment of your benefits and provide you with a smooth transition into retirement.

Please remember, to protect you, we will need to have your current mailing address and phone number on file, even if you are only on vacation for three months or more. If we are unable to contact you for a consecutive three months, we will withhold your benefits pending verification with you.

Monthly benefits are paid on the first day of the following month. If the first falls on a weekend or holiday, then the payment date is moved back to the prior work day, except for January 1st. Please review the payment dates in the table below and plan accordingly.
