IPERS and Military Service Receiving IPERS Service Credit for Your Military Service

When You Serve in the Military

Your military service can affect the amount of your retirement, death, and disability benefits. Make sure you understand how military service affects your IPERS benefits and what you need to do when you return to covered employment after serving in the military.

Please note that the benefits described in this brochure only apply to IPERS benefits. Your individual employer may have separate guidelines. You should contact your employer before your military service begins and when your service ends.
