Apply for a Refund

If you leave IPERS-covered employment before retirement, you can apply for a refund, however, consider your alternatives carefully. You may wish to consult with your tax advisor. You have the following options when deciding what to do with your IPERS account:

Option 1: Leave your money in IPERS until you retire or choose another alternative.

Option 2: Roll your money over to another retirement plan.

Option 3: Take a refund. Sign in to My Account to access an Application for IPERS Refund.
