The information in this section is provided to help you determine an employee's eligibility for membership in the Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System (LEOFF).
The actual rules that govern membership are contained in state retirement law. [RCW 41.26] [WAC 415.104] This handbook summarizes those rules in less legalistic terms. It is not a complete description of the law. If there are any conflicts between what is written here and state retirement law, the law will govern.
