For New Members— Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs Welcome to IPERS

Congratulations on Becoming an IPERS Member

Your employment with an IPERS-covered employer means you’ve taken an important step in helping achieve your retirement security.

It’s never too early to start thinking about retirement. Regardless of your retirement plans or anticipated retirement age, you want a financially secure retirement. IPERS provides the security you need through guaranteed benefits. With IPERS, unlike other retirement plans, benefits aren’t tied to the performance of the stock market and you don’t need to be an experienced investor to make your retirement dreams a reality.

Remember, your IPERS benefits are only one part of your overall retirement savings. Your total retirement income will come from a combination of your IPERS benefits, social security, personal savings, and any other retirement plan benefits.
