Email Requests
Visitors and members should be cautious when sending email containing sensitive and confidential information. Email should not be considered secure. For maximum security, if visitors are emailing about a specific account, include only the member's name and the last four digits of the member’s Social Security number. As an alternative, visitors should consider sending requests and questions by postal mail.
Benefit Calculators Disclaimer
Benefit calculators are designed to give only an estimate of a member’s benefit. Benefit calculators are not linked to member data files. The calculators estimate benefits solely on information entered. The accuracy of an estimate depends on the accuracy of information entered. Members should not make decisions based on this estimate alone. All information should be confirmed with KPERS before selecting a retirement option. Members planning to retire should request a written estimate from KPERS by completing and submitting a Retirement Benefit Estimate Request form (KPERS-15E).
