The PERS Expo will be held as a digital event this year in October. PERS plans to launch a suite of educational resources during National Retirement Security Week starting October 19, 2020.
PERS is gathering educational resources and information to help members understand and plan for their retirement – whether they are new to public service or getting ready to retire.
Make sure to sign up for the “PERS Expo” topic in GovDelivery to receive updates when the retirement education resources are live in October.
Can I make additional voluntary contributions related to the IAP Re-direct?
SB 1049 provides an option for you to make voluntary contributions, to have a total of 6% of your salary go into your IAP. In late September 2020, PERS Online Member Services will be updated to allow members to voluntarily elect to make additional after-tax contributions (to be deducted by your employer) of the redirected amount. You will also have an opportunity to elect retroactive voluntary contributions back to July 1.
