If you are retiring or would retire under Money Match, the sick leave calculation wouldn't be much help to you. I could be wrong, and you really need to check with PERS, but it is my understanding that the sick leave only applies IF you retire immediately after separation. If you wait 5 or 6 years, the sick mrfearless47https://www.blogger.com/profile/03454690519716783056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-66578765255954539662013-01-31T14:49:02.097-08:002013-01-31T14:49:02.097-08:00after 25 yrs in police my 2280 hours of sick is wo...after 25 yrs in police my 2280 hours of sick is worth $688/month.

The other day I got a letter telling me I owe them some amount, over $2,000, I didn't even pay attention to the exact amount. <br /><br />Seems like what Oregon wants to do, it will do.

As other retirees have done, I also bought back two years' waiting time, adding almost $6,000 from my savings to the PERS coffers and getting another $200 or so per month. After all this, my PERS (after taxes) is about 60% of my take-home pay.

When they make public and publish your monthly benefit, it will appear as a much lower percentage of your FAS ... as mine did. Thus sparing you from the criticism of retiring with over 100% of your FAS.<br /><br />SpakeSpakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257910406356031232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-85889430698330767322012-12-24T07:32:43.242-08:002012-12-24T07:32:43.242-08:00I retired under FF + A.

PERS staff told me that I was one of less than 50, all Tier One people, to retire FF + A in 2003. The difference in my case was that I bought former County pension and military time when I left, dropping a cool $50K on PERS as the door closed on my 25 years Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137869405329187219noreply@blogger.com
