All DPS employees and most of Colorado’s other public employees contribute to the Colorado PERA retirement program rather than social security. The PERA retirement plan offers a sound foundation for retirement income, but there is more that you can do to ensure your desired retirement lifestyle. Saving for retirement starts now, and DPS has many opportunities for you to invest in your future!

COPera offers 401(k) voluntary retirement savings plans to DPS members anytime through the PERAPlus Program. You can learn more and enroll online.
*Please note: DPS PERA members are not able to enroll in the 457 PERAPlus plan.
The IRS allows you to make contributions to your retirement plans on a pre-tax or post-tax basis. You can contribute up to the maximum amount each year. If you turn 50 or older during the calendar year, you are also able to add Catchup Contributions on top of the yearly maximum.
DPS partners with AIG Retirement Services (formerly known as Valic) to provide savings options that meet your needs.
