DROP Calendar

When you apply to retire and enroll in DROP, you must state a termination date. The chart below allows you to easily determine your maximum DROP termination date, based on your DROP begin date (assuming that you have 60 months of DROP eligibility*). Using this chart will help you avoid selecting an invalid DROP termination date.
The following table lists valid beginning and ending dates if you wish to enroll in DROP in 2009, 2010, 2011, or 2012 and participate for five years.
