Breaking Down the OPERS Pension Plan
When it comes to the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System, or OPERS, there are three available pension plans: Traditional, Member-Directed and Combined. The traditional pension plan is the most popular.
Understanding which pension group you fall into depends on your age and years of experience. And there are multiple options you have to consider, like if you need a Single Life Annuity Plan, Joint Life or Multi-Life.
In this installment of Financial Planning 101, Ryan Glinn with W3 Wealth Management breaks down those options and discusses the finer points of a traditional pension plan with OPERS.
