Enrolling in the ORP

If you begin employment in an ORP-eligible position* on or after January 1, 1993, you automatically will be enrolled in ORP at the start of your employment. However, if you wish to remain in ORP, you have 90 days, beginning from your employment start date, in which you must do the following:

Enroll with an ORP provider

Complete and sign the Ballot/Enrollment Form (ORP-16) electing membership in ORP, and forward to your personnel office – to obtain a copy of this form, click here or contact your personnel office.

If you fail to do this within 90 days of your employment start date, you will default into FRS.

To select ING for your ORP, please call 1-800-282-6295 and schedule an appointment with your local representative.

Your representative will guide you through the enrollment process, as well as help you:

Develop an asset allocation model to illustrate your investment and retirement objectives

Select the investment options that will help you pursue your objectives

Designate a beneficiary for your plan benefits

Note: The retirement plan choice you make may be irrevocable. If you elect to remain in ORP or you elect FRS, you must remain in that plan as long as you remain employed with the same institution and continue to meet the eligibility requirement.

*Eligible positions include persons who are employed or appointed for no less than one academic year in one of the following: General Faculty; Administrative and Professional; Chancellor of the State University System; President of the University; member of the SUS Executive Service.
