The Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) is a defined benefit plan in which the retirement benefit is based on a formula and guaranteed by the State. PERS members are categorized by specific “membership tiers” based on enrollment date. Membership tiers affect a member’s enrollment and retirement eligibility. Please refer to the PERS Membership Tier Chart for additional information.
How to Enroll: The HR benefits team will complete the application process. For more information on the PERS plan and its membership, please find the guidebook here.
