I was eligible for retirement on 06/01/2017 on the 80 and out. I am just getting one year of backdrop in. Do I need to submit any paperwork advising of my intentions of working on the backdrop?The answer is no. You just keep working. You don’t need to notify MOSERS of any decisions about BackDROP until you retire. If you retire online, you may make your BackDROP election when you choose your benefit payment option.
However, you must work at least two years beyond when you are first eligible for normal retirement to be eligible for BackDROP. BackDROP provides a lump-sum payment in addition to your ongoing monthly benefit payment in retirement. MOSERS has many different resources to find out more about BackDROP.* Besides the member handbook, there is a BackDROP page with links to many resources on our website, including the BackDROP brochure.
* Note: The BackDROP is available only to general state employees in the MSEP and the MSEP 2000.
