Retirement for Employees

Employee Retirement

Employees,

When considering retirement, please contact PSERS to begin the retirement process, even if you have not yet decided on a retirement date. Once your retirement date is determined, please notify Human Resources and submit a retirement letter to the District.

Important: Notify PSERS as early as possible. PSERS conducts an audit of each employee's years of service, and this process can take time to complete. Once CASD receives the audit results, the District has two weeks to review and respond to the findings.

Retirement Checklist

  1. Review PSERS Retirement Information:  https://www.pa.gov/agencies/psers/member-resources/leaving-employment/retiring
  2. Complete a PSERS retirement estimate: https://www.pa.gov/content/dam/copapwp-pagov/en/psers/documents/forms/f151.pdf
  3. Contact PSERS at 1-888-773-7748 to schedule your exit counseling session.
  4. Determine your retirement date and communicate it with all parties involved.
  5. Ensure your retirement date is a scheduled workday.
  6. Submit a retirement letter to Human Resources indicating your effective retirement date.
  7. Human Resources will notify the Business Office once the retirement request has been Board approved.
  8. The Business Office will email your final pay calculations.
  9. Your final paycheck will be issued through direct deposit. A final direct deposit receipt will be mailed to your home address.
  10. The Business Office will send information regarding any applicable unused leave payout. Leave payout notifications are processed quarterly.
  11. If retiring mid-year, salary and leave balances will be prorated based on the number of days worked under your contract.
  12. Information regarding 403(b) contributions for eligible unused leave can be found on the Business Office website under Employer Sponsored Retirement Plans. https://www.casdonline.org/departments/business
  13. Payroll will report your final wages to PSERS through the District's monthly reporting process, typically during the month following your final pay.

Health Insurance Benefits

Eligible retirees may continue District medical, dental and vision coverage at their own cost until age 65. COBRA continuation coverage is administered through CM Regent, who will send information regarding available coverage options upon retirement.

Questions and Important Reminders

Contact Human Resources or the Business Office with general retirement questions.

If you receive correspondence from PSERS regarding your retirement benefits, please contact PSERS directly, as the District cannot answer questions related to your individual PSERS account.

Please notify the District of any address changes before or after retirement.
