Arkansas teachers can change retirement payment choices

Beginning July 1, 2025, Arkansas Teacher Deferred Retirement Option Plan members can switch to another existing payment option. Members cannot have chosen a lump-sum rollover for any account money or previously changed their payment choice. They must cancel their original choice before the end of the second full calendar month following their effective retirement date. They must also file a new payment-choice form approved by the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System by that deadline. Members must repay the system any money they are no longer entitled to receive because of the change.
