If you're approaching retirement, take these steps...

• Request a pension estimate from TRAF
• Maximize your pension before you retire. (To learn how, read the booklet,  TRAF & You.)
• Go to a pre-retirement seminar (check your LINK newsletter for dates  and locations).
• Obtain and read a copy of RTAM's pre-retirement guide, Ready, Set,   Retire. It is full of great advice.
•  Visit a TRAF client services representative to review your personal TRAF  benefits.
•  Consider, then select, your plan option. (Remember, you must complete  a TRAF  pension application form before your pension can be processed.)
• Call TRAF for the complete document Five Steps to Retirement.
