Retirement – Factors to Consider
• If you select the Optional Retirement Plan, that is an irrevocable decision; you cannot later switch to the Pension System.
• Exempt Status and 12 Month Collegiate Faculty Members that select the Pension System may switch to the Optional Retirement Plan within one year from your date of eligibility date (Hire Date or Transfer Date).
• If you switch from the Pension System to the Optional Retirement Plan, this may result in a change in eligibility for the State health benefits plan and subsidy at the time of retirement.
• Time spent in one plan does not count towards eligible years of service in the other plan.
