Iowa Public Employees' Retirement System IPERS is a retirement plan designed to provide secure pension benefits for Iowans in public service. IPERS is the state’s largest public retirement system.

Today, IPERS' Trust Fund continues to hover around $40 billion and pays more than $2.5 billion in annual benefits.
