As a result of pension reforms established by the Arizona Legislature, the Public Safety Personnel 457(b) Deferred Compensation and 401(a) Defined Contribution Retirement Plan (PSPDCRP) was created for eligible members of the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS) and the Corrections Officer Retirement Plan (CORP). Likewise, the Elected Officials Defined Contribution Retirement System (EODCRS) was created for eligible state and local elected officials.Ā 

The DC Plans were designed to provide tax-deferred retirement savings to eligible members, giving them an opportunity to save and build financial security. To oversee the DC Plans, PSPRS Board of Trustees appointed a Defined Contribution Committee, which works diligently to provide quality investment options at competitive institutional rates generally available to larger plans or organizations.Ā 

You can check out the PSRS Tier 1, 2 and 3 Plan provisions here. You can also look at the Corrections Officer Retirement Plan Tier 1, 2 and 3 Plan provisions.Ā
