What is the SDRS Supplemental Retirement Plan

The Supplemental Retirement Plan (SRP) is a tax deferred savings plan offered by the South Dakota Retirement System (SDRS). Participation in the Plan allows you to invest for your retirement while postponing the payment of income tax on your investments until you withdraw your funds when you separate from service, or at retirement, when you may be in a lower tax bracket.

All public employers who participate in the SDRS may offer the SRP to their employees. This benefit is available to all employees of state and local government, higher education, and school districts covered under the SDRS.
