§ 98191 Prior Service Retirement Credit

• •If you worked for the district before the retirement system started, that time can count toward your retirement.
• •This old work time is called 'prior service'.
• •Your retirement money can include pay for this old work time.

A teacher worked for a school district for 5 years before the district started a retirement plan.

Those 5 years of work can still count when calculating the teacher's retirement money, even though the retirement plan didn't exist yet.
