Check out our educational offering, “Route 4: Next Exit Retirement.” Available as a video, in-person meeting, or online webinar, Route 4 is for members retiring within six months and is designed to help you finalize your retirement choices.
Route 4 provides you with essential information about:
- • The significance of your credited service and average monthly salary
- • The retirement annuity options available to you
- • How each annuity option determines the amount of your lifetime benefit as well as the survivor benefit for your beneficiaries
- • How to apply for retirement online
- • When to expect your initial pension payments
Also, for those who join the online webinar or in-person session, this meeting also includes a personalized retirement benefit estimate, so you can get a good idea of what your monthly pension may be.
Note: While Route 4 webinars touch briefly on health insurance, they do not address the finer points of ASRS health insurance. To learn more about the specifics of our plans, please attend a “Know Your Insurance” webinar.
Webinars and in-person meetings are typically scheduled two months out, and registration is required through your secure myASRS account. After logging in, select the “Communication & Education” dropdown from the left-hand navigation and follow the prompts to register.

To prepare for your Route 4 meeting, we recommend attending a “Route 3: Destination in Sight" meeting, as it lays the groundwork for Route 4.
