Nurses at BHDDH

For most Registered Nurses in the Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Hospitals (BHDDH), there is a minimum retirement eligibility age. For some, your retirement eligibility may mirror your Social Security Normal Retirement Age (SSNRA). Based on your retirement schedule, your retirement age and required years of service may differ. Your schedule is determined by the date you were hired and the number of years of service you had at certain points in time.
