Making it easy to see your future

Welcome to Washington State Public Service.

As a public employee you are eligible for retirement benefits administered by the Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Carefully consider your options. As a newly eligible employee, once you make a choice, you cannot change plans. If you don’t make a choice between plans within 90 days of becoming a public employee, you will automatically be placed in Plan 2.


DRS recently developed an online system where you can securely access your retirement account online. Follow the link for Online Account Access and planning. Here are some of the features you can look forward to no matter where you are in your retirement planning:
  • A customized, personal experience based on your retirement system and plan.
  • Retirement planning information and tools.
  • A list of everything you need before you can retire online.
  • Lots of access to assistance either through the help menu, email or phone.
