Connections
The Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) enjoys a long
relationship with our members beginning when a person chooses a career in public
service and culminating in a secure retirement honoring that service. This edition
of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report highlights the connections between
OPERS and our members throughout their working lives.
Governance OPERS is governed by a 13-member
Board of Trustees charged with overseeing the activities
of the retirement system. Good governance relates to
having consistent management, effective policies and
appropriate oversight. Having effective governance
permits the OPERS staff to provide quality information
and services to our members and their employers.
Our activities consist of member services and financial
administration, legislation and plan design, and investment
of plan assets.
Participation OPERS partners with our participating
employers to ensure new members receive the
information necessary to fully understand the benefits
of being a member of the plan. New state & local
government employees, hazardous duty members,
and elected officials receive high-quality written and
electronic information from OPERS with a personal
touch from the retirement coordinator within each
participating employer.
Service The central form of participation in any
retirement plan is service. In addition to full-time
employment, members of OPERS may also purchase
certain types of service credit or be rewarded for active
military service and unused sick leave to be used toward
retirement credit.
Contributions A retirement benefit from OPERS
is more than merely the sum of member and employer
contributions paid into the plan over a member’s career.
The investment of those contributions is vital to providing
a degree of retirement security for our members.
This publication provides detailed information on the
investment of plan assets.
Life Events The relationship OPERS values with
its members can last many decades. Whether it is the
birth of a child, the change of career, or the death of a
loved one, OPERS is there to assist our members with
their retirement plans through both the rewarding and
challenging events of their lives.
Member Education OPERS takes its responsibility
of member education very seriously. Our goal is to help
our members better understand how their decisions and
circumstances today can impact their overall retirement
preparedness. We provide a series of financial planning
seminars, written publications and website designed to
keep members informed.
Retirement Retirement benefits from OPERS are a
valuable part of our members’ overall retirement plan.
A defined benefit plan like ours provides increased
retirement security by offering a lifetime retirement
income without the risk of ill-timed market fluctuations.
We are proud of the connections we make with our
members and honoring their years of public service to
the people of Oklahoma.
