DPA - Benefits - Twenty-five Year Service and Retirement Awards

This program was established by the Legislature to recognize State employees who have completed 25 or more years of service. There are two separate types of service awards. One recognizes employees who have 25-years of service, the Service Award; and the other recognizes employees upon retirement who have 25-years of service or more, the Retirement Award.

In 1999, the award purchase level was increased from $75 to $90. Department personnel may purchase mementos for eligible employees or retirees directly from the State's contractor, or purchase appropriate mementos from other sources. Please see the links below for additional information.

State employees with questions regarding their service and retirement award status, or about award purchase, should direct their questions to their Departmental Personnel Office. Personnel Offices can contact Marilyn Moran at 324-0522 for additional information.
