SF 2297 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to matters under the purview of the Iowa public employees’ retirement system, and including effective date provisions.

SF 2297 amends Iowa's public employees' retirement system (IPERS) to improve member communication and payment options. It allows IPERS to share a member's legal name and city of last known address with the state treasurer to help locate missing members or beneficiaries. The bill changes the annual requirement for benefit statements to quarterly updates of contributions and accrued credits, and adds a reloadable payment card as a no-fee option for retirees, alongside existing electronic and paper payment methods. These changes take effect immediately upon enactment.
