How you get your retirement funds

How you get your retirement funds depends on how old you are and whether you are still working as a caregiver.

Under age 65 and still working as a caregiver You qualify for a retirement payment when you reach age 65.
Under age 65 and NOT working as a caregiver
  • If 2 years (24 months) has passed AND your balance is $2,400 or less, you can receive a one-time payment.
  • If you start working as a caregiver with a participating employer again, you will automatically start getting contributions from your employer; you do not have to wait 6 months.
Over 65 and still working as a caregiver Once your account reaches $2,400, you can start receiving a monthly payment of $100 or more, depending on your age and account balance.
Over age 65 and NOT working as a caregiver
  • If your account is less than $2,400 you can get a one-time payment.
  • If your account is more than $2,400 you can get a monthly payment of $100 or more depending on your age and account balance.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT QUALIFYING HOURS
The vesting rules changed on July 1, 2019. If you were not yet vested on that date, work 1 additional qualifying hour to become vested in your current Account! (Note: This must occur prior to a permanent break in service for you to vest in contributions already made to your account. If you don’t meet the hours requirement for 5 plan years in a row, you will experience a “permanent break in service” and forfeit amounts contributed to your account before the permanent break.
