he BP Retirement Accumulation Plan (RAP) can be a key component of your retirement income. BP funds this plan — you do not make any contributions. The RAP is a “cash balance” retirement-plan design that allows your cash balance account to grow steadily with monthly pay and interest credits over your career with BP.
Although your BP RAP benefit is meant for your retirement, it is also portable — meaning you can take it with you if you are vested when you leave BP, regardless of your age or service. When you are ready to receive your benefit, you have several payment options. You can also leave your account balance in the RAP and let it earn additional interest credits (subject to account balance minimums) or roll it into the BP Employee Savings Plan or another eligible plan.
