Retirement Systems of Alabama

Once a member terminates employment prior to retirement eligibility, he or she has three options:

1. If the member is vested (has at least 10 years of service), retirement contributions may be left in the system until age 60. The member may apply for service retirement to be effective the first of the month following attainment of age 60.
2. With less than 10 years of service, the member may leave contributions in the system for up to five years. If the member has not returned to employment as a participating member, the account will be terminated and contributions plus any refundable accrued interest will be payable to the member.
3. The member may withdraw all retirement contributions and refundable interest. Member contributions are only refunded at the request of the member upon termination of employment and application for refund. To request a refund complete RSA Form 7, Notice of Final Deposit and Request for Refund and send to Payroll & Employee Benefits. Refunds may be subject to a federal tax penalty.
