As a public employee you are eligible for retirement benefits administered by the Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). You have 90 days to choose between two different pension plans – Plan 2 or Plan 3. Here you'll find information, tools and resources that will help you determine your goals for retirement and how to best meet them.
Carefully consider your options. As a newly eligible employee, once you make a choice, you cannot change plans. If you don't make a choice between plans within 90 days of becoming a public employee, you will automatically be placed in Plan 3, and you cannot later decide to become a member of Plan 2.
Some members are here because they're considering a transfer to Plan 3. While new employees must make a plan decision in 90 days, members who were in Plan 2 before Plan 3 started can still decide to transfer to Plan 3 each January. We've provided resources and information for those interested in making a transfer decision.
