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).
Please refer to the Deadlines for Applying for Retirement memo for specific deadline details for applying for retirement, submitting final information to properly complete the application process, and triggering COLA eligibility.

Retirement Planning
Regardless of where you are in your career, the time to start thinking about retirement planning is now!
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.)
