The Perks of PERS

“I’m so thankful that I followed the path that lead me to a PERS retirement.  I was able to retire at age 60 with a paycheck close to my full salary. I watched the solid performance of PERS funds for 25 years.  Even in times of a poor economy, PERS kept it together!  I’m completely secure and confident that my retirement will always be there for me.” – Robin F.
