Retirement seminars are usually held in the fall around the state to provide information to those considering retirement during the current year or in the next few years.  When these seminars are announced, the date and location will be posted here.  Usually the closest location is in Martinsburg.  Check back periodically for updated information.

Once you are certain you are going to retire you will need to file with the retirement board and complete paperwork which must be verified by the county payroll department. Contact Rhonda Baker for assistance at 304-822-3528, ext. 135,
