If you opt to have the cash pay-out of your backdrop, how long does it take after your retirement date to receive it?Your BackDROP* payment (either cash or rollover) will be paid on the last working day of the month your retirement is effective, along with your first monthly retirement benefit payment. For example, if your retirement date is May 1, your BackDROP payments will be made on the last working day of May. This is assuming you have completed all necessary forms, including your BackDROP Distribution form, when you retire online or on paper.
Please be sure to read the Special Tax Notice brochure on our website to learn about various tax consequences if you take some or all of your BackDROP payment in cash.
*BackDROP is an option that allows eligible members to receive a lump-sum payment in addition to an ongoing monthly payment. It is available only to general state employees who are members of MSEP & MSEP 2000 and who work at least two years beyond normal retirement eligibility.
