FAQ
The Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is a voluntary retirement program that is available only to FRS Pension Plan members who qualify for normal retirement. The DROP allows you to effectively retire while delaying your termination.
Both the discount rate and the long-term expected rate of return used for FRS Pension Plan investments is 6.70%.
You must be vested. If you enrolled in the FRS prior to July 1, 2011, you must have 6 years of service to vest. If you enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011, you must have at least 8 years of service to vest.
