  • Benefits you will receive at retirement if you meet the service and age requirements (service retirement benefits);
  • Benefits you may receive if you leave public service before you meet the age requirement for a service retirement benefit (vested retirement benefits);
  • Benefits you may receive if you become permanently disabled (disability retirement benefits); and
  • Benefits your beneficiary may receive if you die while working for a public employer or, if eligible, after you leave public employment (death benefits).
