Retirement Plan Options: Benefit Paid at Retirement Under the Pension Plan, your retirement benefit is based on a formula comprised of your age, length of FRS service, and membership class. The amount of your benefit payments is affected by the retirement income option you choose. Retirement Income Options Under the Pension Plan, you may choose to receive your benefit in retirement under one of four lifetime benefit options including a 3% annual benefit increase each July. Termination Under the Pension Plan, if you leave FRS-covered employment and go to a non-FRS employer, your Pension Plan benefit is frozen until you return at a later date to continue your FRS-covered employment or begin receiving your early or normal retirement benefit. You will be eligible for a benefit (i.e. be vested) when you complete six years of service in the FRS Pension Plan. Additional information is available by calling 1-866-446-9377 or online.
