Questions
When does Florida FRS pay retirees?
FRS pension benefits are paid on the last state business day of each month.
Why did my payment not arrive on the date shown?
Direct deposits usually post on the date shown, but some banks release funds a day later. Paper checks are mailed before the payment date and can take several days to arrive. If a payment is more than five business days late, contact the plan.
Does the December payment count for this year or next?
Florida FRS pays the December benefit on December 31, so it counts as income for the same year.
