OPSRP - Oregon Public Services Retirement Plan
The Oregon Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) is the state retirement plan for employees who work at least 600 hours per year and is mandated by law. Employees hired on or after 08/29/2003 are PERS OPSRP members unless membership was previously established by PERS.
PERS OPSRP membership is established after completion of a six (6) month waiting period for employees who work at least 600 hours per year, and requires an employee contribution of 6% of gross salary on a pre-tax basis to the Individual Account Program (IAP). If you are an existing PERS member, your mandatory contributions begin immediately. This contribution is not subject to Federal and State taxes until it is withdrawn from the retirement system. Additionally, the District contributes an amount to the OPSRP Pension Program for each covered employee. Vesting usually occurs after five (5) years of working at least 600 hours per year. Members automatically vest at age 65, even if they have worked fewer than five years.
