Retirement

Employees must select one of the three available plans:

• Florida Retirement System (FRS) Pension Plan: A defined benefit plan that pays a guaranteed lifetime monthly benefit using a formula based on service and salary while working for an FRS-covered employer.
• Florida Retirement System (FRS) Investment Plan: A defined contribution plan where the benefit depends on the amount of money contributed to employee’s account and its growth over time.
• State University System Optional Retirement Program (ORP): A defined contribution plan where participants decide how to allocate the money in their account among available investment funds.

Additional plans you may add to your retirement:

• Voluntary 457 Deferred Compensation Plan: Retirement savings plan that allows employees to defer receiving a portion of earnings until retirement.
• 403(B) Plans: Intended to supplement retirement income from a state plan or act as a stand-alone plan.
  • UF Tax-Deferred 403(B) Plan: Contributions and earnings are allowed to grow tax-deferred until the money is taxed as income when withdrawn from the plan.
  • UF After-Tax Roth 403(B) Plan: Participants pay taxes as contributions are made and qualified distributions are tax-free.
  • Voluntary ORP (Tax-Deferred 403 (B)) Plan: Only available to ORP participants. Contributions and earnings are allowed to grow tax-deferred until the money is taxed as income when withdrawn from the plan.
