This website contains information about state retirement systems in Florida, including the FRS - the fourth largest public system in the nation. For more detailed information about the FRS you can view our Fact Sheet. You can also view and print our glossary which provides definitions to help you understand retirement terms used throughout this website.

You may also want to visit the MyFRS website, which is a cooperative website of the Department of Management Services and the Florida State Board of Administration. It is part of the MyFRS Financial Guidance Program and offers online planning models and choice tools to help employees eligible for membership in the FRS to choose between the FRS Pension Plan and the FRS Investment Plan. The website also provides access to resources available under both plans.

Announcement

On March 6, 2012, the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit issued an order striking down Chapter 2011-68, Laws of Florida, as applied to individuals hired before July 1, 2011. This law required employees in the Florida Retirement System to contribute 3 percent of their salary towards their retirements and reduced the cost-of-living adjustment for benefits earned on or after July 1, 2011. The trial court’s decision has been appealed to the appropriate Florida appellate court, which results in an immediate stay of the order. Accordingly, while the stay remains in effect, no changes to benefits or deductions are being made.

Publications

The FRS creates several publications for FRS members, state officials and the citizens of Florida. Among those are the Annual Report (the Fiscal 2010-11 FRS Annual Report is available), Retirement Guides, and Retirement Newsletters (the Winter 2012 FRS Retiree Newsletter is available).
