Not Enrolled Status

An ORP participant is considered to be not enrolled when they meet the Insurance Commission’s requirements for post-employment benefits but do not purchase any coverage from the Commission.

Special Note: Participants who are not enrolled may draw funds from the ORP at any time. However, they must leave a minimum amount in the plan to preserve their eligibility for post-employment benefits. Go to preserving eligibility to learn about the minimum requirements.

Status Change: A not enrolled participant may change their status to these other statuses at a future date:

• Deferred Retiree: if they purchase insurance coverage from the Commission (no Retiree Income required);
• Retiree: upon meeting the eligibility requirements for this status; and
• Not Eligible: if they remove all assets from the plan.
