AUGUST 2023 BENEFITS BULLETIN
The Benefits Office is receiving numerous inquiries about retirement, which is expected due to the changes in the contract and its pending ratification. While we do have an open-door policy and gladly offer drop-in and walk-in services as available, it is best to schedule an appointment so we have adequate time to review your paperwork, discuss your options, and answer any questions you may have. That way your scheduled time is YOUR time and we can meet without distractions or interruptions. If you are thinking about retiring within the next year or two, please consider attending one of these two retirement seminars, which will be moderated by our Area Welfare Director, Sam Alvarado:
