Covered Employees and Conservation Officers

If you're a covered employee (responsible for the care and supervision of prisoners), you qualify to receive a supplemental pension in addition to your straight life benefit until age 62. To calculate your pension, figure your straight life pension (final average compensation times 1.5 percent times your years of service) and add it to your supplemental pension (final average compensation times 0.5 percent times your covered years of service). The month after you turn 62, your supplemental pension will stop and you will receive your straight life pension only.

After you calculate your straight life benefit, you can go on to figure your pension under any of the survivor options. Because covered employees qualify under special eligibility rules, you cannot choose the early reduced benefit or equated plans.

Four golfers doing the conga. If you are conservation officer, your annual pension will be 60 percent of your 2-year FAC.
