When do I enter retirement status?

As a member of PERS, you enter retirement status when you:
(1) Have separated from service as defined in RCW 41.40.010;
(2) Have no written or oral agreement to return to employment; and
(3) Have applied for retirement, the accrual date has been determined under RCW 41.40.193, 41.40.680, or 41.40.801, and your benefit begins to accrue.
Example:
Sally is eligible for retirement on July 1st. She submits an application on June 1st with a July 1st retirement date. Her last day of employment is June 30th and she does not have an agreement to return to work.
 
Sally's retirement date (accrual date) is July 1st and the benefit begins to accrue. The first retirement payment will be paid at the end of July. Sally entered "retiree status" effective July 1st.
