Alternative Retirement Plan

The Alternative Retirement Plan (ARP) is a defined contribution plan with enrollment available to full-time employees with 75% or greater FTE. You have options at retirement for how and when to receive your account balance, including gains or losses. The benefit is determined by your account balance and the payment option(s) you choose when you apply to receive benefits. In the event of death, your beneficiary(ies) is eligible to receive your account balance. Should you separate from Ohio State, you may request a refund or rollover of your accumulated contributions.
