Members

Welcome to PERA

We are pleased to welcome you to PERA. As a PERA member, you are a part of Minnesota’s largest public pension plan.

As a PERA member, you contribute a percentage of every paycheck to PERA. In exchange, we provide you a lifetime benefit. Unlike most retirement plans today, traditional pension plans like PERA—also known as defined benefit or DB plans—provide you with the security of a lifetime benefit.

On this page, you’ll find the resources you will need to plan your retirement—whether it is quickly approaching or years away.

myPERA IS YOUR PERSONAL LINK WITH THE ASSOCIATION   

Here you can:

• Review and update your personal information
• View a current estimate of your benefits (just like your PBS), or create your own custom estimates
• Register for conferences and workshops
• Sign up for PERA’s e-publications
• Adjust tax withholding and direct deposit once you begin receiving your benefit, as well as print out tax form 1099R and proof of income reports

WE’VE RECENTLY MADE UPDATES TO myPERA. NOW YOU CAN:

• Add or update beneficiaries online (active and deferred members only)
• Create and view estimates including a non-spouse survivor (active and deferred members only)
