You received this email because you signed up for Senate Bill 1049 Information or IAP target-date fund/Member Choice updates. Review your GovDelivery subscriptions here. You will receive other reminder emails in September.

Member Choice elections open September 1-30

This information is for members who have not retired from their Individual Account Program (IAP). If you have already retired or withdrawn your IAP, Member Choice does not apply to you. Read the IAP Target-Date Funds webpage for more limitations regarding eligibility.

As a participant in the Individual Account Program (IAP), you will have the option to change the target-date fund in which your IAP account is invested through Online Member Services (OMS) from September 1-30.

Changing your target-date fund is optional. If you do nothing, you will continue to be invested in your current TDF.

If you do elect to change your TDF this September, the change will not go into effect until January 1, 2022. Investment returns resulting from a change in your TDF will appear on your 2022 member annual statement, which you will receive in spring 2023.

  • PERS' step-by-step guide on how to use OMS to make an online election.
