The Retiree Recognition Program, implemented in July 2000, is designed to recognize all Georgia State government retirees. Retirees with 30 or more years of service receive their choice of a wristwatch or plaque, and retirees with less than 30 years of service receive a retirement lapel pin.
Please note that it takes four to six weeks from the order date to receive a watch or plaque. Watches and plaques are ordered the first week of each month. Retirees who wish to receive their watch or plaque in advance of retirement are encouraged to submit their requests 60 days prior to retirement.
Retirees who do not order their watch or plaque in advance of retirement will receive a brochure one month after the effective date of their retirement when the Employees' Retirement System sends their names and addresses to the Georgia Merit System. Retirees with less than 30 years of service will automatically be sent a lapel pin.
Please direct your questions or comments regarding the Retiree Recognition Program to the Program Administrator at fsa@gms.state.ga.us.
