Retirement Starts Now

Retirement Starts Now helps employees in the middle of their careers understand what steps they need to take to prepare for retirement. When you are a long way from retirement, it is difficult to understand the importance of taking action to save and invest so you can have a secure financial future. On average, PEBA’s defined benefit retirement plans provide about 50% of your active employment income. At best, Social Security might provide up to 40%. While this may seem enough at first glance, there are a lot of other variables to consider. You can view individual sections below and the full presentation is on our YouTube channel.

Get Set for Retirement

Get Set for Retirement is for employees who are within a few years of retirement eligibility. The presentations provide an overview of the benefits you can expect to receive from your PEBA-administered retirement plan and other issues you should consider as you approach retirement, like eligibility for retiree insurance and Medicare.
