New IPERS Handbooks Out


University employees enrolled in the Iowa Public Employees 
Retirement System (IPERS) will receive a new edition of the 
IPERS handbook, Retirement Planning Guidelines. It contains 
all the IPERS amendments from the 1993 and 1994 sessions of 
the Iowa General Assembly.

The handbook covers IPERS membership, contributions, service 
credits, steps to take in applying for benefits, eligibility 
for benefits, retirement options, special provisions, re-
employment, termination, death benefits, rollovers, taxation 
and other IPERS provisions.

The new IPERS handbook also has toll-free and toll charge 
telephone numbers for caller questions.

The Benefits Office has received just enough of the new 
handbooks to supply those who currently contribute to IPERS. 
University employees with "old" IPERS accounts who want a 
copy of the new handbook should call the Benefits Office, 4-
7680. As soon as the office is resupplied, you will be sent a 
new handbook.
