Computing DROP |
|
Your pension is based on the average of your two final years of total
earnings before the DROP, called final average compensation or FAC, times 60
percent. This amount, divided by 12 is the monthly pension amount you will
receive when your DROP period ends.
This pension amount is also used to calculate the value of your DROP account,
based on your length of participation in the DROP. If your salary changes during
your DROP period, ORS will not recalculate your DROP benefit.
While you are participating in the DROP, a percentage of your monthly
retirement pension is credited to your account. This percentage is based on the length of your participation, which you
designate on your
Deferred Retirement Option Plan (DROP) Election and Application for Retirement (R0732H) form.
Your DROP account will earn three percent interest each year, prorated for any
fraction of a year, as long as there is money in the account. At the end of your
DROP period, you will have full access to your accumulated DROP balance,
including interest.
