After retiring under the Florida Retirement System (FRS) or the State University System Optional Retirement Program (SUSORP), you may work for any private employer, any public employer not participating in the FRS, or any employer in another state without affecting your retirement benefits. However, you cannot work for any FRS-covered employer during the first six calendar months following your retirement month.
Your retirement month is defined as the month in which you begin receiving a monthly pension benefit, take a cash distribution, or complete a rollover of your Investment Plan or SUSORP account(s).
