Here are the typical problems that OP&F members come to us to solve:
  1. Which Plan of Payment to select (#1 mistake, can be very costly)
  2. When should I retire (age & service credit)
  3. How long to DROP
  4. Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) or Government Pension Offset (how it impacts Social Security)

Making the right choice is overwhelming for most people. In most cases, the decisions are irrevocable and can be very costly. At Three Creeks Capital, we help clients with these decisions every day. We have the experience and knowledge to help you get it right from the start.

Sarah and James

Age: 48 and 49

Occupation: Nurse and Police Officer

Primary Goals: Retire to a southern state, help the kids through college, and buy a fishing boat.

Sarah would not have as many years as a nurse in the OPERS system since she went back to school after the kids were born.  Her OPERS pension wouldn’t be a full 32 years.

Thinking about going into DROP? Not so fast!

The DROP offered by OP&F is an optional benefit that allows eligible police officers and firefighters to accumulate their pension payments while they are still employed and receiving a salary.

Understanding your own personal financial situation and knowing what the impact will be is crucial.  Selecting a joint survivor annuity when entering DROP, for example, is the most misunderstood aspect. If not analyzed properly, there can be harmful long-term consequences. 

We can run our proprietary DROP analysis to determine what's best for you. If you are facing this decision, let’s set up a time to talk.
