Are there situations in which a retiree may return to work immediately after retirement without penalty?
Yes. If a member is employed at the time of retirement in positions with more than one employer covered by STRS Ohio, OPERS and SERS, the member may retire from the highest paying position and continue to work with no waiting period in one or all of the lower paying, or secondary, positions. Position is defined as all employment with a single employer. However, the retiree must wait two months before returning to any other public employment.
