2016 PERA Retirement Conferences–Register Today Have questions about your retirement? Our PERA counselors have the answers In all programs, we review your benefit options, the application procedure and forms, and show you how to use MY PERA, our online member portal. Group conferences allow you to benefit from hearing questions that other program participants ask—people just like you who are exploring their retirement options and want to know more about their PERA benefits. Individual conferences, designed for members within six months of retirement, are helpful when dealing with disability, divorce, or service under more than one retirement fund. Please register at least two weeks in advance for either program. We encourage you to bring your spouse or other individual you may be naming as your survivor.
