We have provided information for two separate stages in the planning process — resources for those who are actively planning for long-term retirement and those who are preparing to retire.

There are several things to consider when retiring:

• Income – Learn more about PERS and TSA/403(b)
• Insurance – Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and Disability
• Beneficiaries – You can view or change your current designated beneficiary for your life insurance through your OEBB portal.  You can contact PERS directly to verify your beneficiaries for your retirement account through them, if applicable.
