Important Deadlines for Retirement

When applying for retirement it is important to meet all deadlines in order to avoid any delay in receiving your monthly benefits.  You will also want to carefully consider what month you want to retire so you can maximize the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA).

This Memo provides specific deadline details for applying for retirement, submitting final information to properly complete the application process, and triggering COLA eligibility.

Social Security Fairness Act

President Biden has signed the Social Security Fairness Act, HR 82, which repeals the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GOP).  What does this mean?  Repealing the WEP and GOP eliminates the longtime reduction of Social Security benefits for public employees who receive a public pension.  For LOPFI and Local Plan Members whose police officer or firefighter employment was not covered by Social Security, you will not see a reduction to your Social Security benefits when you enter retirement and begin receiving your LOPFI or Local Plan monthly benefit and social security retirement benefit. 

Because this is a change to the Social Security benefit program, all questions will need to be directed to the Social Security Administration (SSA) at www.ssa.gov  The SSA website also allows you to setup an online account with Social Security.  Their online platform provides immediate access to view and update your personal information and obtain an estimate of your Social Security benefits to see how this change has affected you.

Adopting Coverage



LOPFI is a statewide defined benefit retirement system for police officers and firefighters of political subdivisions in Arkansas. A defined benefit plan means: a monthly benefit is provided based on a formula provided by law for the Member's lifetime. When a Member has met eligibility requirements and decides to retire, they will receive a monthly retirement benefit for their lifetime. (Please refer to the Member Handbook for eligibility requirements and Board Rule 15 under LOPFI's Rules and Resolutions for the definition of a police officer and firefighter.)
