You can update pick�up resolutions if you have already submitted a resolution that mirrors the model resolution provided and approved by OP&F. To update the resolution you should file it at least 30 days prior to submitting pick�up contributions in order to allow OP&F to have adequate time to review the resolution. This requirement is outlined as part of the employer�s reporting responsibilities under Ohio Administrative Code Section 742�7�14.

All resolutions and changes to resolutions must be approved by the appropriate organization such as your city council or the Board of Trustees and must be filed in a timely manner.

If you are interested in reporting pick�up contributions, you should adopt and return a resolution in the form approved by OP&F within 90 days after the earliest date desired to begin reporting pick�up contributions. A model pick�up resolution can be found on OP&F�s Web site at www.op�f.org under the �Employer� category by clicking on the �Documents� link.

For more information on implementing a pick�up plan and the benefits of doing so, please contact Rhonda Sheskey, employer liaison, at (614) 628�8235 or rsheskey@op�f.org.
