Ohio Police and Fire, OP&F, educates Ohio’s first responders, but they do not give you advice.

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.
