An Important Note About Fees
Each investment fund charges an annual fee based on a percentage of the balance invested in that fund. Fees vary by fund and are automatically deducted from your account. These are the only fees you will pay as an active member of the Investment Plan.

About Retirement Date Funds
Retirement Date Funds are professionally managed funds that are designed to offer you a single solution for maintaining a diversified portfolio based on the amount of time you have until retirement. As your retirement gets nearer, the fund’s investment mix gradually shifts from growth to preservation.

About the Other Funds
The other funds listed below allow you to create your own customized portfolio. "(B)" identifies a fund that will automatically block trades under certain circumstances.

Review the Following Important Information Carefully

Hybrid Option Special Eligibility Requirements —The Hybrid Option is available if you have 8 years of previous Pension Plan service and were initially enrolled in the FRS on or after July 1, 2011 (5 years if initially hired prior to July 1, 2011). This option is designed to freeze your accrued Pension Plan benefit and establish an Investment Plan account for all future employer and employee contributions. For more information, call the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 2.
Incomplete Form —You will be notified if your form is incomplete and was not processed. You must submit a new completed form by your deadline in order for your plan choice to be processed.
Electronic Signature —An electronic signature must include a systematic digital authentication such as a date or time stamp showing verification of your intent to sign the form. By submitting a digital authenticated electronic signature, you acknowledge that it is the same as a handwritten signature.
Plan Choice Deadline —You are responsible for ensuring your election is received by the Plan Choice Administrator according to the deadline indicated for the option you choose.
Eligibility —You must be actively employed and earning salary and service credit when your form is received by the Plan Choice Administrator. If it is determined that you were not eligible, your election will be invalid.
Default Enrollment —If you do not submit a choice, the Investment Plan will be considered your initial election by default. Exception: If you are enrolled in the Special Risk Class the Pension Plan will be considered your initial default election.
Reversing an Election Made in Error —If you make your choice in error or change your mind, you have until 4:00 p.m. ET on the last business day of the month following your election month to cancel your election. To do so, call the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 2.
Confirmation Statement —You will receive a confirmation statement once your Enrollment Form has been processed. The confirmation statement will be mailed to your address on file as supplied by your employer or delivered electronically through the MyFRS.com website. Allow 2 to 3 weeks to receive it. Notify your employer of any address changes.
Beneficiary Designation —Designate a beneficiary by submitting a Beneficiary Designation Form (BEN-001 in the Pension Plan or IPBEN-1 in the Investment Plan). Forms are available online at MyFRS.com or by calling the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 1. If you do not designate a beneficiary, in the event of your death, your benefits, if any, will be distributed in accordance with Section 121.091(8) or Section 121.4501(20), Florida Statutes, as applicable.
2nd Election —You have a one-time opportunity during your FRS career to switch from the FRS plan you initially chose to the other plan. There may be a cost for doing so. You cannot file a 2nd Election using this form. Call the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 1, or use the online resources on MyFRS.com for further information.
If You Elected the Pension Plan —You understand that the Pension Plan is a defined benefit plan, which will provide you with benefit payments at retirement if you meet certain criteria. As of the most recent actuarial valuation date, the FRS actuarial liability exceeded the actuarial value of its assets, yielding an unfunded actuarial liability. This liability may increase or decrease in the future. The Florida Legislature may increase or decrease the amount that you and your employer contribute to this Plan to keep it actuarially funded.
If You Elected the Investment Plan —You understand, acknowledge, and authorize the following:
Any accrued value you may have in the Pension Plan will be transferred to your Investment Plan account as your opening balance and is subject to the vesting requirements of the Pension Plan. The initial transfer amount is an estimate, and your account will be reconciled within 60 days of the transfer using your actual FRS membership record pursuant to Florida law. You direct that all future employer and employee contributions be deposited in your Investment Plan account.
If You Elected "Withdraw from the FRS to Participate in the Local Community College Optional Retirement Program (SCCSORP)" — You understand, acknowledge, and authorize the following:
You are eligible to participate in the SCCSORP as provided in Section 121.051(2), Florida Statutes
You must execute a contract with a SCCSORP provider during your first 90 days of employment or you will default into the Pension Plan.
Your membership in any other state-administered retirement plan will terminate on the effective date of your enrollment in the SCCSORP.
As a member of the SCCSORP, you are not eligible for disability retirement benefits under any FRS-administered retirement plan.
Your decision to withdraw from the FRS is irrevocable for as long as you are employed in a SCCSORP-eligible position.
The State of Florida does not guarantee or insure the benefits paid under the SCCSORP.
It is mandatory for you to contribute 3% of your salary to the plan. These mandatory contributions will be deducted from your pay on a pretax basis and will be sent to the provider company as are the employer contributions.

If You Elected the Investment Plan or the Hybrid Option —You understand, acknowledge, and authorize the following:
You reviewed the fund profiles, the Investment Fund Summary, and the Annual Fee Disclosure Statement at MyFRS.com before submitting your Enrollment Form and before selecting any investment funds.
The Annual Fee Disclosure Statement for the FRS Investment Plan provides information concerning the Investment Plan’s structure, administrative and individual expenses, and investment funds, including performance, benchmarks, fees, and expenses. This statement is designed to set forth relevant information in simple terms to help you make better investment decisions. The statement is available online in the “Investment Funds” section on MyFRS.com, or you can request a printed copy be mailed at no cost to you by calling the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line and selecting Option 4.
If you do not select any investment funds, your Plan contributions will be invested in an age-appropriate Retirement Date Fund as provided under Plan provisions. Be sure to review the "Default Investment Fund Notice" located in the "Privacy, Security, & Terms of Use" section on MyFRS.com.
At any time after your account is activated, you can change your fund allocations to any of the Plan’s investment options by logging in to MyFRS.com or by calling the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 4.
Your Investment Plan account will be accessible at the end of the month following the effective date of this election.
You understand a Self-Directed Brokerage Account is offered by the Plan and enrollment will be available to you after you meet the required Plan provisions.
Sections 121.4501 (8)(b)2 and 121.4501(15), Florida Statutes, incorporate the federal law concept of participant control, established by regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor under Section 404(c) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. If you exercise control over the assets in your Investment Plan account, pursuant to Section 404(c) regulations and all applicable laws governing the operation of the Investment Plan, no program fiduciary shall be liable for any loss to your account which results from your exercise of control.
The Investment Plan is a defined contribution plan. The Florida Legislature can increase or decrease the amount that you and your employer contribute to your account.
The Investment Plan is not designed to facilitate short-term excessive fund trading. Foreign and global investment funds are subject to a minimum holding period of 7 calendar days following any non-exempt transfers into such funds. You may be subject to trading controls on the funds in the event that you trade excessively.
Investment management fees are deducted from your Investment Plan account. These fees may change in the future, and funds may be added or terminated. If any of the funds you select are terminated in the future, you will be able to move your assets into other investment funds prior to fund termination. If you do not move your assets out of a terminated fund, those assets will automatically be moved into a replacement fund designated at that time.
If you terminate employment and are vested in your account balance, you may be subject to a mandatory payout of your account if the balance is $1,000 or less, or an account maintenance fee of $6 per quarter if your account balance is more than $1,000.
You consent to electronic delivery of documents through the MyFRS.com website, including but not limited to prospectuses, quarterly account statements, account transaction confirmation statements, privacy notices, fee disclosures, and other documents. Anytime one of these documents is available, an email notice will be sent to the email address you provided. You will need to log in to MyFRS.com to view these documents and to make any updates to your email address. Receipt of documents through MyFRS.com will continue until you revoke your consent by calling the MyFRS Financial Guidance Line, Option 4. Your internet service or cellphone provider may charge you a fee for the time required to view your documents online or for other services.
You have the option to make additional pretax contributions of up to 5.15% of your eligible compensation.
By taking a distribution of employer/mandatory employee contributions, you will be considered a retiree.

By entering a mobile phone number, you agree and acknowledge that the MyFRS Financial Guidance Program may send text message alerts and other related messages to that number purpose related to your retirement account. You understand that such messages may be subject to service provider standard text messaging, data, and phone rates and that you, not the MyFRS Financial Guidance Program, will be responsible for such fees. Your service provider can provide information about any such charges. You are not required to agree to receive text messages as a condition of participating in the Investment Plan.
