Regardless of your retirement plans or anticipated retirement age, you want a financially secure retirement. IPERS helps provide the security you need through guaranteed benefits. Unlike benefits from other retirement plans, IPERS benefits aren’t tied to the performance of the stock market. With IPERS, you don’t need to make complicated investment decisions for your retirement dreams to become a reality.

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 and personal savings.
