There are 2 types of retirement:

Early Retirement

Between 62–65 years of age, with at least 8 years of service credit.

Normal Retirement

• Age 65 with at least 8 years of service credit; or

• Rule of 85 – minimum age 55 and participant's age plus years of service in the plan equals at least 85.

  • Example: Age 55 + 30 years = 85, or Age 58.3 + 26.9 years = 85.

Disability

You receive a percentage of the salary you were receiving at the time you became disabled.

Survivor

50% of the benefit that you would have been entitled to or a minimum of $1,000/month.

Contributions

The employee pays 6% of statutory salary for the first 22 years of service. No contributions are due if you are serving as a senior judge or judge pro tempore.

COLAs are increases made to your monthly pension benefit payment to help if the cost of living is more than when you retired.

Effective July 1, 2026, JRS members will not receive a COLA increase.

The COLA benefits are based upon the state-mandated salary increase for actively employed judges and magistrates in positions covered by the JRS. Increases exclude survivor payees.

If you return to a JRS-covered position, you will resume making contributions to the JRS and earn additional service credit.
