KPERS
How KPERS Works
The KPERS Trust Fund is made up of contributions and investment income. You put 6% of every paycheck into the Retirement System. And your employer contributes, too. Then we invest the money to pay you a lifetime monthly benefit in retirement.
Membership is mandatory by Kansas law. But when retirement gets here, you'll be glad you saved. KPERS is your fiduciary. That means we put members first. The KPERS Trust Fund is your money. It's not going anywhere except to pay your benefits. It can never be withdrawn for any other purpose, not even by the Legislature.
KPERS is "prefunded." That means your benefits are funded ahead of time throughout your career. KPERS is not like Social Security that uses current contributions to pay current benefits. Over time, investments have paid for about 50% of member benefits.
How You Contribute
- You contribute 6% of your pay, automatically deducted by your employer.
- 4% annual interest, paid quarterly to you and maybe more, depending on KPERS' investment returns.
- Kansas law doesn't let you borrow from your contributions.
- Pretax for federal income taxes and after tax for State of Kansas income taxes.
- Can withdraw your contributions and interest if you leave employment.
- Paid to your beneficiary if you die before retirement.

Leaving KPERS Employment & Withdrawals
Leaving Employment
and Your Retirement System Benefits
If you Leave Employment, There Are a Few Things to Consider:
- What are your life insurance needs?
- Does KPERS have your contact information?
- Is your beneficiary up to date?
- What happens to your contribution account/retirement benefit?
Your Life Insurance Needs
Your life insurance ends when you leave KPERS-covered employment. You can continue some or all of your
current coverage. You have 60 days to submit your form to KPERS or Standard Insurance Company.How Much Coverage Can I Keep?
That depends on your current coverage. All KPERS members* have basic life insurance equal to 150% of their annual salary. You may also have optional life insurance. You can choose to convert or port the total amount of your combined coverage, or any lesser amount.
You Have Two Options:1. Convert your coverage to an individual whole life policy.
2. Port your coverage to an individual term life policy.
Conversion and portability forms explain the benefits and costs for each option. You can get these forms from your employer or download them at kspers.gov.
KPERS Needs Your Contact Information
While you’re working, we send important information to you through your employer. When you leave employment, we need to send information directly to you. Please update your address in your online account by visiting kspers.gov, or email us at kpers@kspers.gov.
Update Your Beneficiary
It’s important to keep your beneficiary designation up to date, even though you’re inactive. Your beneficiary will receive your contributions and interest. Your spouse can receive a monthly benefit if you meet the criteria. You can update your beneficiaries in your online account at kspers.gov.
Your Retirement Benefit and Contribution Account
Are You Guaranteed a Lifetime Retirement Benefit?
If you’re “vested” - yes, you are guaranteed a retirement benefit if you keep your contribution account at KPERS. Often, your retirement benefit is more valuable than the amount of your contributions. You can withdraw at any time if you change your mind. You can apply for your benefits when you become eligible for retirement.
How Do You Become Vested?You are vested with KPERS once you complete 5 years of service.
If you are not vested you are not guaranteed a retirement benefit. Your account earns interest for five years (two years for KPERS 3 members). By the end of five years, you need to withdraw your account and you forfeit your service.
Often, people return to KPERS employment within five years. If you keep your account with KPERS and return within five years, you’ll pick up where you left off with your years of service and contributions. If you withdraw and later return, your years of service and contribution account start over.
Withdrawing Your Contributions
If you choose to withdraw, you give up all Retirement System rights, benefits and service. The decision could affect your financial future, especially if you have many years of public service and accumulated contributions.
Sometimes You Can’t Withdraw
If any of these situations apply to you, please visit with your employer.
- Leave of absence
- Military service
- Moving to a position not covered by KPERS with same employer
- Moving to another KPERS plan (i.e. KPERS to KP&F)
How to Withdraw?
You must wait at least 31 days from ending your KPERS- covered employment to apply for withdrawal. Download the Application for Withdrawal of Contributions form (KPERS-13) at kspers.gov or ask your employer.
The application has more information on your options, like a direct payment or a rollover. It also explains what taxes you might owe with each option.
If you withdraw your KPERS contributions it is irrevocable. You cannot reverse it. You’ll receive your contributions plus interest. Employer contributions stay with KPERS. Please seek professional tax advice before withdrawing.

SERVICE CREDIT
KPERS Service Credit
You can increase your benefit, but it comes at a cost. Check with KPERS if it's right for you.
What is Service Credit?
Service credits represent how long a member has worked. Employees automatically earn “participating” credit for the years they work in a KPERS-covered position. Purchasing additional service credit could help you vest your benefit faster, get more at retirement and possibly retire sooner.
Under KPERS, there are several types of service credit that members can purchase to enhance their retirement benefits. Here are the main types:
-
Prior Service Credit: This includes time worked for a KPERS-affiliated employer before the employer joined KPERS. Members can purchase this service to count towards their retirement1.
-
Military Service Credit: Members can purchase up to six years of active military service credit. Additionally, Kansas law allows KPERS to grant service credit for active military service at no cost to the member under certain conditions1.
-
Forfeited Service: If a member previously withdrew their KPERS contributions and forfeited their service credit, they can repurchase this service credit3
Don't wait. Purchase costs are based on salary and age. Now is probably the most inexpensive time for you to buy.
How Does the Process Work?
Prior Service Credit or Forfeited Service:
1. Determine Eligibility
If you previously withdrew your KPERS contributions and forfeited your service credit, you may be able to repurchase that service. Contact KPERS or the SMSD KPERS Designated Agent, Nicole Churchill, to confirm whether your past KPERS service is eligible for purchase.
2. Complete the Application
Fill out Part A of the Application to Purchase Service Credit (KPERS‑67) and sign as the member.
3. Submit Your Application
Send your completed form to Nicole Churchill, SMSD KPERS Designated Agent, using one of the following secure methods:
- Inter‑campus mail
- Physical drop‑off at the CAA
- Fax: 913‑993‑6240
Do not email the form, as email is not secure and may compromise your Social Security number.
4. Employer Review
Nicole Churchill completes Part B of the form and forwards it to KPERS.
5. KPERS Cost Calculation
KPERS reviews your application, calculates the cost to repurchase your service credit, and sends you a letter with the details. At this stage, you can evaluate whether you want to proceed.
6. Finalize the Purchase
If you choose to move forward:
- Sign the KPERS paperwork
- Arrange payment (or payroll deduction)
- Return all required documents directly to KPERS
KPERS must receive your full payment on or before your last day on your employer’s payroll.
7. Service Credit Added
Once KPERS receives your payment, they will add the purchased service credit to your KPERS record.
Military Service Credit, Non-Federal Public Employment, or Out-of-State Teaching:
1. Determine Eligibility
If you earned service credit though Military Service, Non-Federal Public Employment, or Out-of-State Teaching, you may be able to purchase that service. Contact KPERS or the SMSD KPERS Designated Agent, Nicole Churchill, to confirm whether your service is eligible for purchase.
2. Complete the Application
Fill out Part A of the Application to Purchase Service Credit (KPERS‑67PS) and sign as the member.
3. Submit Your Application
Send your completed form to Nicole Churchill, SMSD KPERS Designated Agent, using one of the following secure methods:
- Inter‑campus mail
- Physical drop‑off at the CAA
- Fax: 913‑993‑6240
Do not email the form, as email is not secure and may compromise your Social Security number.
4. Employer Review
Nicole Churchill completes Part B of the form and forwards it to the Former Employer.
5. Former Employer Verification
The Former Employer will complete Part C and returned to KPERS 611 S. Kansas Ave., Suite 100, Topeka, KS 66603-3869, attn: service purchases.
6. KPERS Cost Calculation
KPERS reviews your application, calculates the cost to repurchase your service credit, and sends you a letter with the details. At this stage, you can evaluate whether you want to proceed.
7. Finalize the Purchase
If you choose to move forward:
- Sign the KPERS paperwork
- Arrange payment (or payroll deduction)
- Return all required documents directly to KPERS
KPERS must receive your full payment on or before your last day on your employer’s payroll.
8. Service Credit Added
Once KPERS receives your payment, they will add the purchased service credit to your KPERS record.
Federal Tax Requirements on Service Purchases
Only active members may purchase service. Federal law may limit you if you are purchasing service with after-tax money. This limit applies only to after-tax contributions.
- Not on purchases with rollover or payroll deduction
- Annual limit changes each year
- Can cause a delay in completing a lump-sum after-tax purchase
- Most likely to affect high-cost purchases (large number of years or member's age and salary)
