100 DAY RETIREMENT DEADLINES

for the 2021-2022 School Year

The above dates are for those working until the end of contract.  If you choose to retire at another time throughout the year, the 100 day deadline still applies in order to receive the sick leave incentive.  Your retirement commitment letter must be in the Retirement Office 100 calendar days prior to your last day of work.

You may fax the commitment letter to 594-9523 or send it via school mail to the Benefits Office, 3^rd Floor, Andrew Johnson Building.  If you would like confirmation receipt, please state that on the form.

Once you have sent in your commitment letter, classified employees should contact the Knox County Pension Board at 215-2323.  Classified employees choosing to continue insurance at retirement (health, dental, vision, or life) should also contact the Benefits Department for the appropriate forms.

As a classified employee and a participant in the Asset Accumulation Plan, you are eligible to contribute into a Voluntary 457(b).  You may elect to contribute an additional percentage of pay on a pre-tax basis into any one of the four vendors under the Knox County Retirement & Pension Board..  Your contributions would be matched based on your years of service.  Please note that your contributions would be subject to the annual IRS limit guidelines.
