Welcome


Welcome to the ORS website for members of the Michigan National Guard.

If you served in the Michigan National Guard (Army or Air) you may be entitled to a retirement benefit from the State of Michigan. You must meet the following criteria to qualify:

  • Separated from service

  • Age 55 or older, and

  • Have served a minimum of 19 years, 6 months, and 1 day of active National Guard service in the State Defense Forces and the Michigan National Guard.

The benefit will be at the rate of $600 annually ($50 per month) beginning age 55 or the effective date of application, whichever is later.

Under the current state law, you must apply for this retirement benefit - it is not automatic. In addition, the benefit is not retroactive, so be sure to file your application within 3 months of being separated from the Michigan National Guard or within 3 months of turning age 55, if no longer a member of the Michigan National Guard.

Use the links provided on the left to learn more about retirement benefits available to you through the state of Michigan. Retirement benefits may also be available through the federal government. Click here to learn more.
