If you are planning to retire this year, please refer to the schedule for individual counseling/filing sessions on the Employees’ Retirement System (ERS) website under Members Retirement Planning http://ers.ehawaii.gov/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Oahu-Fall-20151.pdf.

Employees wanting to request an individual counseling session on O‘ahu should call ERS at 586-1735, as the individual counseling sessions are filling up fast.  A registration form is also available on the last page of the ERS Counseling Appointments for Employees Retiring schedule.  On the form, please enter the last 4-digits of your social security number and your month and date of birth (the year is not required) and mail or hand-deliver the completed form to the ERS Office.  NOTE:  If it is too early to register for a session, please regularly check the ERS site for the schedule of sessions.

For neighbor island employees, please contact the neighbor island ERS representative for an appointment.  The ERS has scheduled pre-retirement workshops and informational sessions on the islands of Hawai‘i, Kaua‘i, Lāna‘i, Maui and Moloka‘i.  The pre-retirement sessions schedule and instructions to register on each island may be viewed at: http://ers.ehawaii.gov/members/planning-for-retirement.
