What it does

This bill relates to the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS) by modifying the retirement benefits of sheriffs and deputy sheriffs. The monthly retirement benefit under IPERS for a sheriff or deputy sheriff is calculated by multiplying the retiree’s applicable covered wage by a percentage. The bill increases, for sheriffs and deputy sheriffs retiring on or after July 1, 2024, the applicable percentage used to calculate the retiree’s monthly retirement benefit by five-eighths of one percentage point for each calendar quarter of service beyond years of service up to a maximum of additional percentage points.
