Eligibility for Regular/DROP Retirement Benefits

A member or former member hired on or before December 31, 2010, will be eligible for regular/DROP retirement benefits if he/she has twelve (12) or more years of eligible service, is at least age fifty-five (55), and has terminated his/her employment.

A member or former member hired on or after January 1, 2011, will be eligible for regular/DROP retirement benefits if he/she has twelve (12) or more years of eligible service, is at least age sixty (60), and has terminated his/her employment.

A person who is eligible for retirement/DROP, shall submit an application to the board.  The application shall provide proof of service, age, date of termination of employment, and any other information required by the board.  The person's employer shall certify the accuracy of all information contained in the application and forward the application to the fund.

The Retirement System established a Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) in 1993 (La. R. S. 11:1530).  The participant may remain in the DROP a maximum of three (3) years. The program does maintain an option to return to work at that time.
