Between the Defined Contribution Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Annuity Plan, new Troopers will see their retirement savings growing at a minimum of 25.25% of their salary each year. Coupled with good asset management, this rapid contribution rate may result in a very robust retirement. The State of Alaska recommends seeking professional advice in the management of retirement funds, and the State of Alaska Division of Retirement and Benefits offers opportunities for retirement planning education, state of the art tools, investment option information and easy account management.
