Overview

Allows members to change retirement application information within 60 days of the member's retirement date.

History

The Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) is a benefit plan designed to provide benefits to members entitled to benefits under their defined contribution program. The ASRS aims to provide an incentive for recruiting high quality employees, encourage employees to remain in service for periods of time that will provide public employers with the full benefit of the employee training and experience and contribute toward providing a total compensation package that is generally equivalent to comparable employment in other public and private organizations in this state. (A.R.S. § 38-712)

To create a degree of security for ASRS members, a public employee's retirement trust fund was established. All assets and monies of the ASRS are a part of the trust fund as well as all accounts, depositories and funds. (A.R.S. § 38-712)
