Retired PERSI members keep pension in office

Beginning July 1, 2026, eligible retired PERSI members can keep their full (unreduced) pension while serving in an elective public office. You must have been retired more than six months and be elected or appointed to an elective office that is not the same office you held before retiring. You must choose this option. While serving, you do not earn new service credit. You and your employer do not pay PERSI contributions. Your pension checks continue during this service.
