You may now apply to make up furlough contributions. Paying contributions on lost furlough wages can minimize the negative effect a furlough will have on your monthly benefit payment, but only in some circumstances.

Before completing the Application to Submit Contribution for Furlough, make sure this is the right decision for you. File a Request for Benefit Estimate for Members Affected by a Furlough before signing the application. Get answers to common questions about furloughs and IPERS benefits to see what other alternatives you have.
