FRS Retirement Plans Lighthouse Point

[major] and How They Affect You

[major] [minor]Defined contribution [major] (investment plan/second election) are retirement plans in which a certain amount or percentage of income is alloted each year by the company for the benefit of the employee. There is no means to find out how much the system will actually offer the employee upon retiring. The number pitched in might be fixed, but the conclusive benefit to be claimed isn’t. The investment problem and profile maintenance are entirely under the management of the worker.

So you’re with the investment plan (defined contribution plan), and you have chosen second election for your retirement plan with the State of Florida. The question is, when can you get your money?

What [major] Mean For You in [minor]

If you have more than 30 years of experience, you are able to get 10% of your money through the investment plan no fewer than one whole calendar month soon after you retire. For example, if you cease working January 1st, the whole month of January does not count. You need to wait during the month of February. March 1st, you would manage to receive ten percent of your funds in the investment plan. You would have the chance to get the other ninety percent % away from the plan 60 days after. This is very important because most people retire with the FRS and possess no idea regarding when they can secure their income, and must plan accordingly.
