What Payment Options Do I Have When I Retire?

Clarence C. of Arkansas asks, "What payment options do I have when I retire?”

Pension Evaluators & QDROS Of Troyan, Inc Associates Group answers, "Upon retiring, you will have the same options, in regards to distribution, as those who have terminated employment. You will remain responsible for all federal (and state) income taxes owed on amounts taken from your account, however you will only be taxed on the amount withdrawn within a given year, as opposed to the account balance in its entirety (unless you remove the entire balance at once). In most cases, distributions pursuant to retirement are not subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty, as you will have reached the normal retirement age determined by your Plan.

Additional information can be acquired by contacting your financial advisor, or referring to your Summary Plan Description.

When you retire, you have essentially the same distribution options as other participants who have terminated employment. In most cases, though, your distribution will not be subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty as you will have reached age 59½.

You will be responsible for all federal (and state) income taxes owed on any distributions taken from your retirement account. You will only be taxed on the amount withdrawn in any given year, not the entire account balance (unless you take a distribution of the entire balance).
