When someone passes away, the family often has a lot of things to deal with.  Because we pay monthly benefits to retirees for their lifetime, and in many cases post retirement death benefits as well, APERS is one of those things. 

APERS members can register for access to their information – plus great retirement planning tools and secure private messaging – in the Members Self-Service (MSS) portal right here on our website.

Each year, APERS mails tax information to those members who have received a taxable payment from the system in the prior calendar year. The information contained in the Form 1099-R provided to you by APERS should be used in completing your state and federal income tax return.
