• Retiring or Resigning Soon?

    Please refer to the employee Pre-Separation Checklist below.

     You can download a PDF version of the Pre-Separation checklist by clicking here. 

     

    Resignation/Retirement Notification

    - Submit your separation letter indicating your final day of work to your Administrator and your HR Technician at least 3 weeks before your anticipated separation date.  The Human Resources Support Team listing can be found here.

     

    PERS Retirement Notification (if applicable)

    - Contact NVPERS at 775-687-4200. 

    Q: How will my PERS benefit be affected when I draw Social Security?

    A: Your PERS benefit is not affected by Social Security. However, your Social Security benefit may be affected because you receive a PERS pension. The Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) are the two Federal Government regulations that may reduce your Social Security benefit. We suggest you contact the Social Security Administration at 800-772-1213 or visit their website at http://www.ssa.gov to find out more information.

     

    Vacation/Sick Leave Payout (if applicable) 

    - The vacation payout (if applicable) is customarily paid as a supplemental (paper) check 2 days after your final paycheck if you are less than 55 years of age. If eligible for BENCOR, the monies are customarily transferred at the end of the month that you separate in.

    - If you are 55+ and your accrual payout is greater than $1,000.00 the money will be sent to a tax advantageous account called BENCOR.

    - A sick leave payout (must be employed for 10 continuous years to be eligible for a sick leave payout) will be dispersed in the month of July as a supplemental (paper) check if you are less than 55 years of age. If eligible for BENCOR, the monies will be transferred to BENCOR at the end of July.

    - 100% participation in BENCOR is required for those who are 55 years and older (per IRS regulation). You may contact BENCOR Customer Service directly at 1-888-258-3422.

    Payroll (if applicable)

    - If you have “automatic” payroll deductions set up, then you will need to make arrangements to have those switched to other accounts. These deductions will not continue once your final paycheck is issued if alternative arrangement are not made. 

     

    Risk Management (if applicable)

    - Resignation: Contact Risk Management at 775-348-0343 for any insurance benefit questions.

    - Retirement: Contact Risk Management at 775-348-0343 to request a Retiree Insurance Premium Deduction Form at least 2 weeks prior to receiving your final paycheck.

    If you wish to continue your health insurance into retirement, you will be responsible for paying your monthly premiums, which will be deducted from your monthly PERS check. You must be receiving a PERS check to be considered a "retiree" and continue with District benefits. You have 60 days from the date of your retirement to elect benefits, otherwise you cannot continue with District's insurance and will not be eligible for COBRA. You can find more information in the Plan Document on the Risk Management website. If desired, your life and vision coverage can be continued separate from your health and dental, but there is no option to continue health coverage without dental or dental without health coverage.
