Many people have attended local retirement seminars or have spoken to their retired friends to learn about their pension options. State employees and teachers will be faced with 4 different choices upon retirement. The first, and highest payout, is called "Straight Life Option". There will also be three other options that are commonly referred to as "Survivor Options". The Survivor Options are percentages representing the amount that your spouse would receive when you pass away.
