The primary objective of the Retired Public Employees of Idaho (RPEI) is to advocate for the rights and benefits of the Public Employment Retirement System of Idaho (PERSI) retirees. We will meet with Idaho legislators, testify before legislative committees, and engage with PERSI Board members and officials.
Inflation rose 22.7% from August 2019 to August 2024. Your PERSI benefit went up only 8%. The S&P 500 grew more than 90%. Something isn’t right. The RPEI is here to ask why you are not getting the return on investment that you should and to do something about it.
The Retired Public Employees of Idaho is a newly formed non-profit organization. It was established by retired Idaho public employees to protect the PERSI retirement benefits earned by all retired public employees as well as future PERSI retirees.
In 2024, the average monthly PERSI benefit was around $1920. The 2025 increase was about $25 a month. It wasn’t much, and it won’t get much better unless we work together to do something about it. Please join us to create an effective organization to advocate for the retirement benefit into which you and your PERSI employer invested every payday during your years of service.
