Once you leave State employment, you have a variety of options and are eligible to take a distribution at any time.
Wait to take a distributionIf you choose to leave your money invested in RIC after you leave employment, no forms are necessary. When you leave state employment, your money may stay fully invested in RIC until you decide to take income or turn age 72 (age 70 1/2 if turned 70 1/2 prior to 2020) Income options (taxable)To request a distribution, call your provider directly. You may take income in one or any combination of options shown below.
If you wish to take a distribution from any provider other than those listed above, you will need to complete the RIC Distribution Form. Call the inactive provider to ask if they also require their own distributions form and if withdrawal restrictions or penalties will apply. Return to topRequired Minimum DistributionsThe IRS requires that you begin taking annual minimum distributions by the IRS required beginning date. If you fail to begin taking your requirement minimum payments on time, you will be subject to an IRS penalty on the amount you should have taken. Your provider will calculate your required minimum distribution amount upon request. You may elect to receive the entire value of your account or you may receive periodic payments over your life expectancy. If you do not elect a lifetime payment option, you have the option to take more than your required minimum amount at anytime. To request a distribution, please contact your provider.
