| A member or former member shall be eligible for regular retirement benefits if they have twelve or more years of credited service, have attained the age of fifty-five (55) years or more, and have terminated their employment. A member who becomes disabled and who files for disability benefits while in service, and who upon medical examination and certification as provided for below, is found to be totally disabled (a) solely as the result of injuries sustained in the performance of their official duties, or (b) for any cause provided the member has at least ten (10) years of creditable service and provided that the disability was incurred while the member was an active contributing member in active service, shall be entitled to disability benefits.
The Retirement System established a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) in 1993 (La. R. S. 11:1530). Members must be one year past the eligible age for retirement (age 56) with at least thirteen (13) years of service. The participant may remain in the DROP a maximum of three (3) years. The program does maintain an option to return to work at that time.
