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. These publications are occasionally listed in Perspectives . Many are included on these web pages. PERS has produced five videotapes on topics of interest to members who are close to retirement. The videotapes are on Benefit Calculations, Benefit Options, Steps to Retirement, The Variable Annuity for Retirees, and Purchases.
