Preretirement guides

What are your dreams for retirement?

While PERS cannot advise* you on how to best prepare for your retirement years, we can help you understand your PERS benefits and how to prepare for our retirement process.

Part of that preparation involves education and being aware of the decisions you’ll have to make about your benefits.

Don’t leave your preparation to the last minute.

Read the preretirement guide for your membership type to learn more about your benefits, the PERS retirement process, and the choices you’ll need to make about your benefits when the time comes to retire.
