Reemployed Retiree Reporting

Notification

Reemployed retirees are individuals hired for an STRS Ohio-covered position who are already receiving retirement benefits from an Ohio public retirement system or alternative retirement plan (ARP). When employing a retiree, employers must notify STRS Ohio within 10 business days of the retiree’s first day on payroll.

To inform STRS Ohio of a new reemployed retiree, employers must complete and submit a reemployed retiree notification. A Member Information form is available for employers to collect reemployed retiree demographic data required for the notification process.

The reemployed retiree notification includes two questions about the reemployment of certain retirees under Revised Code Section 3307.353. See the Reemployed Retirees section for more information about these requirements.
