These group counseling sessions are offered throughout the state to members who are within five years of retirement. Members attending these sessions will usually receive a benefit estimate prior to the session. To enroll in a session, call the Customer Service Center. Other presentations available for PERS members are held in the PERS headquarters office in Tigard and in the workplace when requested by employers. The PERS newsletter, Perspectives , is published quarterly.
PERS provides copies to PERS-participating employers for distribution to active members.
Copies are mailed directly to retired members at their current addresses and to inactive members who have provided PERS with current addresses in writing. Each issue contains features and news items about the retirement system. If you are an active member and are not receiving your newsletter, please contact your employer. PERS also publishes a variety of informational pieces on various topics. These are available on request.
