IPERS and Military Service

Receiving IPERS Service Credit for Your Military Service

 American Flags

Introduction

Because IPERS recognizes the importance of military service, you can receive free IPERS service credit for periods of military leave. In addition to free service credit, the wages that you would have received during your military service may also be part of your average salary, which could affect the amount of your retirement, death, and disability benefits. Read on for more information.

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.
