Published on: October 07, 2026

Ever wondered if the retirement savings you have outside PSRS/PEERS could buy you more service — or even an earlier retirement date? In this episode of Benefit Connection, host Susan Boessen and guest Cami Renick from Member Services explain how you can purchase PSRS/PEERS service with pre-taxed funds using a rollover. It sounds technical, but they start with the basics: What is a rollover? Which plans qualify? What steps do I take? You’ll learn it all and be ready to roll by the end of this short conversation.
