Navigating Teacher Retirement as an Ag Teacher

Steve Schmit, former teacher from Osceola, will share his story about some challenges and what he learned when retiring.  His hope is that by sharing his story that others can avoid some potential pitfalls that could cost you thousands of dollars in retirement benefits through NPERS.  He has also invited Jason Hayes, NSEA attorney, and other recent retirees to join the call to provide insight.

This session will take place via Zoom, on Thursday, January 20th at 4:00 Central Time and will last approximately 30-45 minutes.  Join the Zoom call here: https://unl.zoom.us/my/neaged  (We hope to record the session, provided that all presenters are comfortable with that.)

Even if you’re not quite “on the edge” of retirement, it may be good to join, as the issues experienced by others seem to stem from extra duty/extended contracts and how/when that time is recorded.  Sometimes a little future planning now can help later down the road!
