Senate Bill 1049: Member Contributions Changed July 1, 2020

Read information about Senate Bill 1049, passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2019.

If you are currently employed and earn more than $2,500 a month, a portion of your salary​ contributed to your Individual Account Program (IAP) is now going into a different account to help pay for the cost of your future pension, which means less money is​ going into your IAP.

Watch PERS’ animated videos that explain the two parts to your retirement and learn more about the IAP contribution changes:

• ​Currently employed Tier One/Tier Two members (hired before August 29, 2003)​
• Currently employed OPSRP members​ (hired after August 28, 2003)

NEW: You can elect to make additional after-tax contributions to continue to have a full 6% contribution to your IAP account. Lear​n more.
