VRS: A bird in hand or two in the bush? (2006-03-20)
by David John Marotta
Dear Marotta Asset Management,
I’m retiring this summer with over 30 years’ contributions in my Virginia Retirement System (VRS) account. Because I’ve worked past the full retirement age of 65, I can participate in Partial Lump-Sum Option Payment (PLOP) plan. If I participate in PLOP, I will receive a $29,588 lump sum rolled into a retirement account. If I choose to do that, my monthly VRS income will be reduced by $216. Is this a good choice?
