Remember when Mom used to make you do some things you didn't like because they were "for your own good?" Of course, she was usually right. Sometimes APERS has to ask you to do things in ways that aren't as easy or convenient as we would like them to be, but these restrictions are for your protection.
As a member of the Arkansas Public Employees Retirement System, you may be able to receive service credit for previous employment with other non-APERS agencies or for previous contributory employment with APERS. While some service credit may be available at no cost, most prior service credit must be purchased.
Not everyone is ready to stop working at retirement age. Some members traveling our road may pass by the main retirement exit and continue to work beyond the point they become eligible for unreduced benefits. This opens some additional options.
Whether going the distance - and then some, or taking the off-ramp for a different destination, APERS members have choices when it comes to when and how to take their much-deserved retirement.
