DEFINE PENSION OPTIONS#

Pension Options are the choices available to members in each pension plan.

Options must be defined fully within the Define Pension Options (IXPO) screen before an employee may select them.

• The options will provide the parameters of the plan such as retirement age, years of service, monthly benefits, etc.
• As the options are created, they will be associated with a specific plan. Options cannot be associated with more than one plan; a new option will need to be created.
• The IXPO screen is date sensitive.

Define Pension Components data is stored in the P2K_RX_PN_OPTIONS table.
