Congratulations on Your Upcoming IPERS Retirement

You've Reached an Important Milestone: Retirement

As you embark on this exciting time, we’re here to help you. This booklet highlights your IPERS benefits and walks you through the steps you need to follow to begin the application process.

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.

This booklet does not contain information on 2010–2012 IPERS law changes. See details on the law changes.
This booklet briefly explains certain rights and benefits of IPERS membership. It is not a substitute for federal and state laws governing IPERS, which provide complete information and are subject to change. Although IPERS makes every attempt to ensure its materials are accurate and up to date, any conflict between the contents of the booklet and law must be resolved in favor of the law. The Member Handbook provides a more detailed description of IPERS benefits. These publications are available in print and alternative formats by contacting IPERS.
