South Carolina Retirement Systems is a defined benefit plan. It provides a fixed monthly benefit based on a formula that includes your average final compensation, years of service credit and a benefit multiplier, not on your account balance at retirement. This plan assumes life expectancy and investment risk. South Carolina Optional Retirement Program (SC-ORP) is a defined contribution plan. In this retirement plan you are solely responsible for your retirement account, and choose how to invest and manage your money. Selecting the right retirement plan depends on individual retirement goals, and length of time you plan to work at The Citadel. Most employees who plan to retire from The Citadel choose the Defined Benefit Plan while others who may be unsure of their long-term retirement goals choose the State Optional Retirement Program.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/details><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item\"><details><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-accordion-item__title\">I am currently a State ORP participant.
