Attention Benefit Recipients
As a reminder, LOPFI will send out the annual Life Verification form in July to certain benefit recipients. Those who have registered access to their Member Portal account will receive the form through their Member Portal Inbox. All others will be mailed a hardcopy form. Please be sure that you sign the form and have it notarized before submitting it to LOPFI.
We encourage all benefit recipients to register for access to their Member Portal to ensure that if you are selected to receive a Life Verification form, it will be sent electronically to your Inbox which will help you avoid delays with your timely response. Member Portal users can utilize the Submit Documents feature in the Portal so the properly completed document can be uploaded and submitted directly to LOPFI in seconds.
Thank you all in advance for your cooperation!
Regardless of where you are in your career, the time to start thinking about retirement planning is now!
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.)
