Chapter 3: Service Credit

LEOFF Service Credit

Summary

This section contains information about service credit for members of the Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System. The information is provided to help you understand how service credit is earned.

Rules that govern service credit are contained in state retirement law. 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.
