The City of Los Angeles Retirement Incentive Pay (RIP 2.0) is a program developed by the City and the Los Angeles Police Protective League to allow members of MOU 24 who are retiring or entering DROP to include specified salary increases as part of their pension benefit calculation. It is treated like a pensionable bonus equivalent to the base wage increase that was agreed to be non-pensionable for a period of time.
MOU 24 covers sworn LAPD employees with a rank of Police Officer, Police Detective, Police Sergeant, and Police Lieutenant.
It is anticipated that the application period for RIP 2.0 will open on October 25, 2023. If you wish to have your application retroactively dated, your application must be filed by December 2, 2023. Applications filed after this date will not be subject to retroactive dating and will have an effective date beginning the pay period in which the application is successfully submitted.
