Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP)
Florida’s Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) is an option for employees of the Florida Retirement System (FRS). The deferred retirement option program lets public sector employees continue working for an extended period while still accruing retirement benefits.
When you fully retire, FRS pays out your DROP proceeds to you.
How Does DROP Work?
DROP allows eligible employees of the FRS to retire while continuing to work for up to 5 years or 8 years for teachers or government employees under certain circumstances. Your monthly retirement benefits will earn interest during this time.
