An important step for STRS Ohio members who have chosen to retire is the completion of the Service Retirement Application. To assist Defined Benefit Plan participants with the completion of this important document, we offer the online Service Retirement Application Presentation. This presentation will guide you through the completion of this application section by section, and was developed with the goal of answering commonly asked questions about completing the application.

We hope this presentation is helpful to you. If you have not met with an STRS Ohio benefits counselor to discuss your retirement, we strongly encourage you to do so. You may schedule an appointment by calling STRS Ohio toll-free at 1-888-227-7877.
