Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS)

KPERS is a state-wide defined benefit retirement plan that provides a monthly benefit upon your retirement. Eligible JCCC employees are required to participate in KPERS. All JCCC employees hired in a covered position must contribute 6 percent of their monthly gross earnings to KPERS.

After five years of service, you become vested and are guaranteed a retirement benefit even if you leave covered employment. You can receive reduced benefits from KPERS beginning as early as age 55 if you have 10 years of service.

NOTE:  JCCC KPERS retirees who go to work for another KPERS Retirement System employer (including JCCC) are subject to KPERS post-retirement earnings limitation provisions. Information on the earnings limitation provisions are provided below and can be found utilizing the KPERS link above.
