During the Federal Government shutdown, the District of Columbia Retirement Board (DCRB) will continue to be open, full-service, during its normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We will continue to pay benefits to the members and retirees who depend on us, to do our work, and to honor our obligations.

As a reminder, DCRB’s offices are undergoing a renovation project that will take several months to complete. During this time, our Benefits staff will be located on another floor. If you have a retirement question you would like to discuss with a Benefits Department Specialist, we urge you to first see if your question can be handled over the phone; and if not, please contact us to schedule an appointment so we can arrange for a specialist to be available to meet with you. Please contact our Member Services Center at (202) 343-3272 or toll free at 1(866) 456-3272 to discuss your question or to arrange a convenient date and time to meet with a Benefits Department staff member.
