Want to change the fund your IAP is invested in?

Your opportunity to change the target-date fund in which your Individual Account Program account is invested is about to open online.

Starting September 1, you can make changes to your IAP fund through Online Member Services. The window to make your election online will end September 30. Changes will not take effect until January 1, 2022.

Changing your fund is optional, and not every PERS member is eligible to make a change.

• Member Choice, the part of Senate Bill 1049 that created the option of changing target-date funds.
• IAP target-date funds, including the details and limitations you need to know about Member Choice before making a change.
