General Description: Section 110.1315, F.S., requires the Department of Financial Services to provide an Alternative Retirement Income Security Program to meet the requirements of Section 3121(b)(7)(F) of the Internal Revenue Code. The program is for eligible temporary and seasonal employees of the state who are compensated from appropriations as Other Personal Service (OPS) Employees. The existing program has been developed to meet specific, varied, and complex requirements relating to investment options, security, recordkeeping, functionality, customer service, training, and the offering of other ancillary information technology services including websites and investment tools which are used by the program’s participants. Due to the specific technical requirements of the program, it would take months for a new vendor to accomplish the technological transition necessary to provide such services. The current vendor has established a system and process that meet the program’s needs and can implement them immediately.
