Is my retirement affected by FMLA leave?

Usually not, however, for any month you are not paid the minimum number of hours required to earn service credits for your retirement plan, you lose retirement service credit for that month. Contact the Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) directly at 800-547-6657 and visit the Department of Retirement Systems (DRS) website for information about how to recover lost service credit.
