From the day you start working, you should begin preparing for retirement. Once you start working for an employer covered by the Oregon Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS), you should seek to understand how PERS figures into your retirement planning and preparation.
Retirement preparation and planning with PERS includes:
-
Tracking your account information
-
Deciding what your financial needs will be and how many years you will work
-
Understanding how service credit works and resolving any associated questions or concerns
-
Understanding the options available to protect you and your loved ones
-
Scheduling time to learn more about your options
-
Taking advantage of a defined contribution savings plan
Understanding your retirement plan does not have to be complicated, especially with the education and tools we offer. For more information about PERS, please schedule an appointment with one of our Investment Advisors, available through CUSO Financial Services, L.P.
We are here to help you understand your retirement system.
