NOTE 14 - PENSION PLAN
Florida Retirement System
Plan Description
Okaloosa County contributes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS), a cost-sharing multiple-employer
defined benefit pension plan administered by the State of Florida Division of Retirement, Department of
Management Services. The FRS provides retirement, disability or death benefits to plan members or their
designated beneficiaries. Florida Statutes Chapter 121 provides the authority under which benefit
provisions are established. The provisions may only be amended by legislative action.
Beginning in 2002, a defined contribution plan alternative to the existing defined benefit plan known as the
Public Employee Optional Retirement Program or the FRS Investment Plan became available to FRS
members. Members in either plan who have reached normal retirement age may retire and continue
employment with the County for up to 60 months. During that period the member’s retirement benefits
accumulate in the FRS Trust Fund increased by a cost-of-living adjustment each July and earned interest at
an annual rate of 6.5%. The FRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial
statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained on the State of Florida
Department of Management Services website at www.dms.myflorida.com.
FRS Plan Changes
Effective July 1, 2011, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 2100 that made substantive changes to the
Florida Retirement System (FRS). The new Bill requires all FRS Investment and Pension Plan members
(except those in Deferred Retirement Option Program, DROP) to now pay a 3% employee contribution, on
a pretax basis, beginning on or after July 1, 2011. Cost of living adjustments (COLA) on or after July 1,
2011 are not automatic at 3%, but based on total years of service earned prior to July 1, 2011 to total years
of service at retirement, multiplied by 3%.
New members enrolling into FRS for the first time after July 1, 2011 will be subject to additional changes
including 1) an increased vesting period from 6 years to 8 years, 2) a change calculation of benefits using
Average Final Compensation (AFC) on the highest eight years of compensation as compared to highest five
years. In addition, the normal retirement date for Regular, Senior Management Service, Elected Officers’,
and Special Risk Administrative Support Classes was modified to be age 65, with 8 years of service or 33
years of service regardless of age. Normal retirement for Special Risk Class members now at age 60, with
8 years of service, or 30 years of special risk class service or age 57, with 30 years of combined special risk
class service and military service. For those members participating in the DROP program, the Legislature
reduced the annual interest rate used for benefits from 6.5% to 1.3%. The funding policy relative to the
FRS plan is disclosed below.

NOTE 14 - PENSION PLAN - CONTINUED
Funding Policy
Contribution requirements of the plan are established in Florida Statutes Chapter 121 and may only be
amended by legislative action. Effective July 1, 2011, the Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 2100
requiring all employee members to contribute 3% to the Plan. Formerly, only employers were required to
contribute to the FRS Plan. The FRS funding policy now provides for monthly employer and employee
contributions at actuarially determined rates that, expressed as percentages of annual covered payroll are
adequate to accumulate sufficient assets to pay benefits when due. Level percentages of payroll employer
contribution rates, established by state law, are determined using the entry-age actuarial funding method. If
an unfunded actuarial liability re-emerges as a result of future plan benefit changes, assumption changes, or
methodology changes, it is assumed any unfunded actuarial liability would be amortized over 30 years,
using level dollar amounts. Except for gains reserved for rate stabilization, it is anticipated future actuarial
gains and losses are amortized on a rolling 10% basis, as a level dollar amount.
In July 2002, the Florida Legislature established a uniform contribution rate system for the FRS, which
remained in effect with the passage of Senate Bill 2100. The uniform contribution system covers both the
