Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System
IPERS is a retirement plan designed to provide secure pension benefits for Iowans in public service. IPERS is the state’s largest public retirement system.
We are committed to transparent communication with our members, lawmakers and all Iowans. The Iowa Legislature created IPERS in 1953 to attract and retain quality public employees, including those who teach our children, maintain our roads and parks, care for our most vulnerable residents, and protect our citizens. Today, IPERS' Trust Fund continues to hover around $40 billion and pays more than $2.5 billion in annual benefits.
