The Kentucky Public Retirees is a non-profit organization of retired Kentucky public employees
whose aim is to protect our retirement benefits. If you are retired from or are eligible to retire from the Kentucky Employees
Retirement System, (KERS), The State Police Retirement System (SPRS), or the City/County Retirement System (CERS), you are
eligible to be a member of KPR. The officers and board members are all retired government employees who are members
of one or more of these retirement systems. They volunteer their time to serve the best interests of this organization and
public retirees across Kentucky. Kentucky Public Employees was organized in 1983, and our goals are: Protect and improve
our retirement benefits; represent and promote the interests of retirees before the General Assembly, the State Retirement
System, and other agencies; provide advice and consultation to public officials on such matters as our health insurance, retiree
needs, etc.: and to provide an outlet for fellowship and community service for retirees. KPR currently has 12 Chapters
throughout the state which meet monthly. These Chapters and contact information about each Chapter is listed on one of the
following pages of this website. Retirees may also join KPR where there is not a chapter located, becoming an at-large member.
The membership application is also located in this web site. KPR has hired a lobbyist to appear on our behalf before
the General Assembly and alert us of meetings or votes of importance to our benefits for comment or action on our part. This
has been a huge asset to our Organization. In order to provide and support the Goals of KPR, we must increase our membership.
Dues are $15 a year, and well worth this in order to protect the benefits we now have, and ensure the protection of our benefits
and the security to know they will be provided in the future. JOIN US NOW!!!
