HF 2345: Relating to matters under the purview of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system and the municipal fire and police retirement system, and including effective date provisions

What it does

This bill allows the Iowa public employees’ retirement system (IPERS) to release the legal name of a member or beneficiary to the treasurer of state to assist IPERS in locating the member or beneficiary. The bill removes the requirement for IPERS, between January and June of each calendar year, to provide each member with a statement of the member’s accumulated contributions and benefit credits accrued up to the end of the prior calendar year and instead requires IPERS to provide each member a statement reflecting the prior four quarters during each calendar year.
