You’ve heard the word “vested”—but what does it mean? 🤔

At APERS, vesting means you’ve earned the right to a future retirement benefit once you meet the retirement eligibility requirements. Members become vested after five years of service.

It’s an important milestone in your public service career! Have questions about your service or benefits? Visit www.apers.org.
