Benefits of P.E.R.I. Membership

Membership in PERI will keep you informed and involved regarding your retirement security. PERI helps you understand the good and bad parts of each House or Senate Bill that affects our retirement pensions, pension fund investments, or health care benefits.

You will have peace of mind knowing that someone is on the job monitoring legislative and political activity that may affect your retirement and benefit package; knowing that someone will alert you when there is a need for your personal involvement; and knowing that someone is there to let you know who to contact, when to contact them, and the best way to express your point of view.
Below are specific benefits you'll gain from PERI membership:
  • Membership Card with important Retiree and Healthcare phone numbers on the back.
  • Quarterly Newsletters to keep you informed about legal and political issues that may affect your retirement benefits.
  • Information from our Legislative Counsel, who monitors proposed and actual legislation before the Ohio General Assembly.
  • Insight to pending legislation, without political or news media interpretation, commonly referred to as “spin”.
  • Explanations that will help you understand the good and bad parts of each House or Senate Bill that may affect our retirement pensions, pension fund investments, or healthcare benefits.
  • Representation on PERS retiree issues before the Ohio General Assembly and its committees.
  • Availability of the PERI staff (via E-mail) to help you understand the complexities of your pensions and healthcare benefits.
  • 800 Service with live staff members to answer your questions about legislative issues and help you through problems with PERS Departments or Healthcare Service Providers. (This is not a legal service.)
  • Access to current Legislative News with updates on our website at http://www.operi.org.
  • Access to representation before the US Congress and its committees through our affiliation with the National Conference of Public Employee Retirement Systems (NCPERS).
  • Availability of Local Chapter Membership within the state of Ohio.
  • Fellowship with other Public Employee Retirees in order to discuss retirement issues.
  • Access to a variety of speakers from PERS and our Healthcare Providers.
  • Fellowship with other retirees, just for the fun of it.
