Welcome to the Club’s New Outreach to Retirement

Long-Term Care: Lock in Your Rates This Month!

Have you been thinking about signing up for the Club’s Long Term Care Plan? If you have, now is the time to apply!

Apply before Dec. 31, 2022 to lock in 2022 rates. After Jan. 1, 2023, all new applicants will automatically move to the next age bracket year and a higher premium.

Long-term care insurance is designed to protect your retirement savings and assets by paying a monthly benefit for some of the expenses you may incur if you need supervision or assistance with basic activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, eating, continence, dressing, toileting, ambulating and transferring – situations that can follow an accident or illness such as a stroke, because of older age and frailty, or because you need supervision due to a cognitive disorder like Alzheimer’s disease.

Do not wait until it is too late!

Contact the Club today to speak with a licensed insurance Counselor who can answer any questions you may have and assist you with completing the application.

Applying for Retirement Online

Members are encouraged to submit their retirement application 60 days before their retirement date when using LACERS’ new Retirement Application Portal (RAP). The RAP is a great asset to LACERS Members that helps to streamline the retirement process. While the filing period is within 30 to 60 days of your retirement date, starting your application early and submitting it on the first day you can at the 60-day-prior mark, will allow for a couple of benefits. These include having ample time to discover any complications and address them without having to move your retirement date, as well as ensuring LACERS staff has time to meet your retirement date request.

For example, if your desired retirement date is Dec. 17, 2022,you would have aimed to submit your retirement application in the portal on Oct. 18, 2022. For more information, please visit lacers.org/applying-retirement.
