The North Carolina Pension Plan offers a range of retirement options designed to secure the financial well-being of its participants during their golden years.

Benefit Accrual and Calculation: Describing the formula for calculating pension benefits, including factors such as years of service, salary, and years of credited service. 3. Vesting: Outlining the vesting schedule and requirements for participants to become eligible for a vested pension benefit. 4. Retirement Options: Detailing the various methods of retirement available, such as early retirement, normal retirement, disability retirement, and phased retirement, if applicable. 5. Distribution Options: Clarifying the options for receiving pension benefits, such as lump-sum payments, monthly annuity payments, or a combination thereof. 6. Cost-of-Living Adjustments (Colas): Informing participants about Colas, if any, which ensure pension benefits keep pace with inflation and the cost of living. 7. Death and Survivor Benefits: Explaining provisions for beneficiaries and spouses in the event of a participant's death, including the availability of survivor annuities. 8. Plan Governance and Administration: Outlining the entities responsible for plan governance and administration, including contact information for questions, concerns, or disputes. I kindly request the North Carolina Pension Plan SPD be provided to me in a clear and comprehensive format. If there are different versions or variations of the SPD (such as electronic, online, or printed), please let me know the available formats and the preferred method of delivery. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, as having a thorough understanding of the North Carolina Pension Plan's SPD will greatly contribute to my retirement preparedness. If you have any further information or additional resources that could assist me in reviewing the plan, please include them with the SPD. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing valuable retirement benefits to employees/retirees/members.
