A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system, and including effective date provisions.
This bill amends Iowa's public employees' retirement system (IPERS) rules. It allows IPERS to accept electronic records and signatures (without requiring them), permits sharing members' legal names with the treasurer of state to locate members, and changes annual benefit statements to reflect the prior four quarters instead of the full year. It also adds a new payment option: retired members can receive monthly benefits via a reloadable payment card without administrative fees, in addition to electronic transfers or paper checks (which incur fees). These changes directly affect Iowa public employees enrolled in IPERS.
