I have turned 70 also. If you are under the STRS system you are
forced to take your Defined Benefit amount by 70 !/2. If you are
still working, which I am, and still in STRS employment, you
must take it when you retire. You can only take it when you
retire or you lose it. First retire with the district on your last day
of employment. You must file with STRS the day after or lose
your Defined Benefit. I this applies to you, you need to make a
retirement counseling appointment with your STRS local office.
