SECTION 21060-21063
21060. (a) A member shall be retired for service upon his or her written application to the board if he or she has attained age 50 and is credited with five years of state service, except as provided in Sections 21061, 21062, and 21074. (b) For purposes of this section, "state service" includes service to the state for which the member, pursuant to Section 20281.5, did not receive credit. 21061. (a) A local safety member, other than one subject to Section 21362 or 21362.2, shall be retired for service upon the member's written application to the board if the member has attained the age of 55 years, and is credited with five years of state service. (b) Subdivision (a) does not apply to the employees of any contracting agency having a contract with the board made prior to September 5, 1945, which contract specifies an age greater than the age of 55 years as the minimum age for voluntary retirement for service for local safety members, until the agency elects to make subdivision (a) applicable to its employees, by amendment to its contract made in the manner prescribed for the approval of contracts, except that an election among the employees is not required. Until the contracting agency elects to make subdivision (a) applicable to its employees, a local safety member employed by the contracting agency shall be retired for service upon the member's written application to the board if the member has attained the minimum age for voluntary retirement specified in the contract between his or her employer and the board, and is credited with five years of state service. 21062. Notwithstanding Section 21061, a local safety member to whom Section 21061 applies shall be retired for service upon his or her written application to the board if he or she has attained age 50 and is credited with five years of state service. However, if the member retires before attaining age 55, his or her prior and current service pensions shall be reduced to that amount that the value of the pensions as deferred to that minimum age will purchase at the actual age of retirement on the basis of the mortality tables and actuarial interest rate in effect with respect to those members. 21063. A member may request a meeting, to be conducted by the member's employer, at which the employer shall explain to the member the elements of the member's past or current compensation that have been or will be reported to the board as compensation earnable. The information provided to the member at the meeting shall be provided orally and in writing and a copy of the writing shall be provided to the member for his or her records.
