At retirement, APERS members can choose between five different benefit options, or ways to structure their retirement benefits (not including PAW or DROP). They are Straight Life, A-120, A-60, B-75, and B-50. Learn the features of each at our blog!

To help you choose the benefit option best suited for yourself and your family at retirement, APERS has produced a 3-part series of articles to provide information for your comparison. The articles are found in the blog article list on the right hand side of the page.
