Pension stampede in San Diego

The Deferred Retirement Option Plan, or DROP, allows city employees to receive a paycheck and a pension at the same time, but pension checks and additional retirement benefits are deposited into a special account available only when they retire. 

After five years in the program, employees officially retire and can choose to receive their accrued DROP balance as a lump sum, or have it paid out as an annuity over time.
