THE RETIREMENT BASICS PAPER
The members of REAOC established a new adjunct organization in December 2008, the Association of Retired Employees of Orange County (AREOC). This is a 501(c) (4) corporation.  The mission of the Association of Retired Employees of Orange County is to protect retirees’ rights and benefits.  The vision of AREOC is “To be a recognized, unifying voice for the protection of retiree rights and benefits.”

As stated in the September edition of The Informer newsletter, the AREOC Board of Directors has produced a 10-page document titled “Understanding Public Sector Retirement Basics” to assist in understanding terms and issues regarding the Orange County Employees Retirement System (OCERS) and issues surrounding public sector retirement systems in general.  Since this document was written, information for the most recent fiscal year has become available from OCERS and that will lead to an update to this document sometime in the future.  Please click on the link below to read this document.
