FRS Contribution Changes

The 2011 Florida Legislature passed Senate Bill 2100, thereby making substantive changes to the Florida Retirement System (FRS) that will impact former, current and future Seminole State employees. For the most complete information regarding these changes, please visit and bookmark the FRS website http://myfrs.com/portal/server.pt/community/myfrs/257/2011 Retirement Legislation. There, you can find the following information:

• 2011 Legislation Summary: A user-friendly recap of the legislation's key points
• Legislation FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions that cover many different topics for different individuals
• Take-home Pay Calculator: Shows employees how the 3 percent mandatory employee contribution will impact their actual take-home pay

Everyone is encouraged to visit the FRS website, since it will be constantly updated as additional changes occur or as new information becomes available.
