You have an important choice to make! As a new employee with the State of Colorado, Community College, University, or a Local Government, you may be required to choose between the PERA Defined Benefit Plan and the PERA Defined Contribution Plan within the first 60 days of being hired. To help you with this important decision, we highly encourage you to attend a 45-minute Retirement Choice Webinar, which is a great opportunity to learn the difference between the two plans. (If you are not a new hire, or if you are employed by a school district, this webinar does not apply to you.)
