This episode can help you save money on your service purchase. Mandy Boehm from Member Services explains why the cost of your open service purchase is recalculated every October and why salary increases affect your cost.
With simple examples and real member situations, Mandy shows how purchasing earlier may help you pay less — and how smart planning can support your long‑term retirement goals.
In this episode, Susan and her guest go into detail explaining the most commonly utilized service purchases such as social security-covered employment, employment at non-PSRS-covered schools, and more.
