If your organization has deployed Office ProPlus from your Office 365 subscription, you may still have some users who are running Office 2013 ProPlus. Not only are these users missing out on the new capabilities in Office 365, like Groups and Skype for Business, but there is something more important for you to be aware of…the end of support for Office 2013 ProPlus.
As of February 28th, 2017, Office 2013 ProPlus will no longer be supported. Users running Office 2013 ProPlus will still receive critical security updates, but they will no longer receive product updates for new features that are added to the service. There is no automatic way to move from Office 2013 to Office 2016; however, Microsoft is here to help you transition to 2016 so you get access to mainstream support, as well as the latest features the service has to offer.
Here are the steps you should follow:

Hi Chris. Is there another release of Office Pro Plus planned for that date? It was my understanding that Office 365 would support Office current version - 1, which would mean 2013 is still supported.
Just wondering. Though I totally agree, customers and partners should get familiar with the different channels for updates and choose the release cycle appropriate to their organization, so they can keep up to date and take advantage of new features at a pace that suits them.

Office 2016 ProPlus is the current version and supports the new client servicing model to ensure ProPlus is always up to date.

Matt, I've had several customers told the same thing. It was originally September 2016 for end of updates, including security - then Feb 2017 for all updates included security.
I suspect based on the above something has changed, but for obvious reasons it isn't widely publicised.
I would thing you need to push your Microsoft TAM and maybe TSP to follow this up internally and get you a definitative answer that you can rely on. You aren't alone as other organizations have dependancies like Exchange 2007 that they can't just "switch off".
