PERS Expo 2023 website still available
If you missed PERS Expo 2023 in early October, don’t worry. You can still access the website to learn more
about your PERS benefits and how you can create a secure retirement.
The
PERS Expo 2023 website
will remain open until December 31, 2023.
You can explore information about your PERS benefits, additional retirement savings options, post-retirement
health insurance options, the PERS retirement process, and other related topics.
Resources include videos, recorded sessions and workshops, and retirement checklists. Check out the “Ask
Experts” area of the website for questions your fellow public employees posed while the PERS Expo event was
live on October 10 and 11. Note that PERS is no longer accepting live questions via the website.
Return to the PERS Expo website as often as you need to gain a better understanding of your PERS retirement
benefits.
Retiring? Planning to work after retirement? Tell employers these two things
If you’re in the process of retiring and plan to work after retirement for a PERS-participating employer,
you need to tell your future employer the following:
- What your effective retirement date is.
- That your retirement application is in process with PERS.
Failure to provide this information to your future employer could cause you to be incorrectly hired after
retirement as a regular employee rather than a retiree-hire. Errors of this kind can negatively impact your
retirement benefits, such as delaying payments.
Future employers who need to be notified include any PERS-participating employer you plan to work for after
retirement — even your current employer, if you intend to work for them as a retiree-hire.
If you have questions,
contact Member Services for assistance.
