Working toward retirement is a long process, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.

As you near the end of your career, INPRS is with you every step of the way to make your final working days your easiest.

1. When you apply for retirement, several options are available to you regarding how to receive your benefit. Be sure to select the retirement benefit option that best suits your financial goals and retirement needs.
2. If you are eligible for normal or early retirement but have not yet applied, INPRS can provide a retroactive benefit payment of up to six months based on the date your application is submitted or the maximum allowed by your plan.
3. You can view an overview of your retirement eligibility and benefits on your Annual Member Statement (AMS), sent after the close of the fiscal year on June 30. The estimated benefit amount shown on your AMS may vary from your actual monthly defined benefit amount, subject to final audit and calculation.
4. When ready to retire, remember to fill out the online retirement application at least 90 days before your expected retirement date. For details on your specific plan, please read the “Retirement Benefits” section of your plan’s handbook. To apply for retirement, visit myINPRSretirement.org to use our online retirement application.
