Emergency Broadband Benefit

Broadband is a necessity, not a luxury. The internet is the platform on which the world works, and broadband is the universal common denominator. Members may be interested to know that applications will open May 12 for federal COVID-relief to discount broadband access by $50/mo ($75/mo on tribal lands) for qualifying households. It also includes limited opportunity for subsidized purchase of computers and tablets. Members ​in qualifying ​households—including OHP & SNAP beneficiaries—can sign up for a monthly $50 @FCC benefit: https://getemergencybroad​band.org.

Celebrating 75 Years

For 75 years, PERS has been serving those who serve Oregon. Since 1946, we have helped hundreds of thousands of Oregonians retire after their years of service to their communities. Our history is long and our future bright. We have created a commemorative logo for this year, which is now in use on our website, and have updated our history document to mark this milestone. ​We invite you to read​ ​about our journey and celebrate with us.
