Who do I contact for general retirement questions?

Contact PSRS/PEERS at 1 (800) 392-6848 or visit their website: PSRS/PEERS 

  • A Retiree Meeting is held in May.

  • If you’re on the board packet, you’ll receive an email invitation in March.

What happens to my insurance benefits when I retire?

  • Medical Coverage:
    Retirees must be offered the same premiums as active employees. You can continue your medical insurance through the district as long as you:

    • Elect coverage within 1 year of your retirement.

    • Pay monthly premiums via ACH deduction (deducted between the 5th–8th of each month).

  • Dental and Vision:
    If you currently have these, you can keep them.

  • Life and Disability Insurance:
    Ends on your last day worked (includes both short-term and long-term disability).

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, during:

  • Open Enrollment

  • Or if you have a qualifying life event (must notify us within 30 days).

What happens to my spouse’s coverage if I drop mine?

  • Your spouse’s coverage ends immediately if you drop yours.

  • Coverage cannot be reinstated for either of you after you have dropped it.

What happens to my spouse’s coverage if I pass away?

  • If your spouse receives a PSRS/PEERS benefit, they may keep coverage indefinitely.

  • If not, they may continue coverage via COBRA for up to 36 months.
