RETIREMENT STATUS NOTIFICATION
Please check one box based on the retiree definition above:
I am a retiree of a State of Florida-administered retirement plan.
I understand that as a retiree:
If I am employed by a FRS-covered employer in any type of position (which includes OPS, Adjunct
Faculty, and Post-Doctoral Scholar) during the first 6 calendar months after my initial distribution and/or
rollover from my state retirement plan (including DROP), my retirement status will be voided, all retirement
and DROP benefits I received must be repaid, and I must reapply for retirement to receive future benefits.
If I am reemployed by a FRS-covered employer at any time during the 7
th
through the 12
th
months after I
retired or after my DROP termination date, my monthly retirement benefit must be suspended and any
unauthorized benefits received must be repaid.
1, 2
Florida law requires a return of all unauthorized Pension Plan benefit payments or Investment Plan
distributions received by a member who has violated the FRS termination or reemployment provisions.
Similar provisions apply to unauthorized SUSORP, SCCSORP, or other state-administered plan
distributions. Failure to disclose retirement from a state administered retirement plan could result in
disciplinary action up to and including termination.
I am NOT a retiree from any State of Florida-administered retirement plan. I have not concluded participation in the
Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) within the past 12 months or received my first distribution or rollover
from any State of Florida-administered retirement plan within the last 6 calendar months.
NOTICE WITH REGARD TO FRS INVESTMENT PLAN
In order to enroll in the State University System Optional Retirement Program (SUSORP), please be aware that if you
have previously been enrolled in the Florida Retirement System (FRS) Investment Plan through an FRS participating
employer, you will first be required to use your FRS 2
nd
election (if available) to “buy into” to the FRS Pension Plan
before electing the SUSORP. In accordance with Florida Statute 121.4501, the election to participate in the FRS
Investment Plan is irrevocable, except for the statute’s provision for one opportunity to move from the Investment Plan to
the Pension Plan.
You are considered retired if:
• You have received any benefit payments from the FRS Pension Plan (including DROP); or
• You have taken any distribution (including a rollover) from the FRS Investment Plan, or other state
administered retirement programs offered by state universities (SUSORP), state community colleges
(SCCSORP), state government for senior managers (SMSOAP), or local governments for senior managers.
