Application for Retirement-You should obtain this form from your local personnel or business office 60-90 days prior to your planned effective date of retirement.

There are four pages in the retirement application, they are:

(1) Retirement Application Instructions
(2) Application for Retirement Checklist
(3) Member Information
(4) Employer Certification

Complete the Member Information Form and return it to your personnel or business office where the Employer Certification will be completed. Your employer will then forward the completed application to our office. Our staff will review your application for eligibility and mail to you your retirement documents, which include: an information memorandum, a final computation of your retirement benefit, a final selection of benefit form, and a direct deposit authorization form.

(The New Mexico Retiree Health Care Authority will automatically mail you a retirement packet. For more information on the NMRHCA, call 1-800-233-2576.)
