§ 82-642. Minimum requirements for retirement benefits
Latest version.
(a) The minimum requirements for benefits under the Texas County and District Retirement System are ten years of service and 60
years of age. After ten years of service, a member may terminate employment with the county, leave the accumulated balance
in the system and, at the age of 60, start receiving monthly checks. If the employee's length of service, plus the employee's
age, total 80 or more, the employee is eligible to retire.
(b) The retiree must be vested in one of the five cooperative retirement plans that coordinate with Dallas County's Retirement
Plan for eligibility vesting purposes. However, the county will not subsidize the cost until the employee has vested through
service in Dallas County's Retirement Plan.
