Smith & Mason Valley Chapter of RPEN Met for Annual Picnic at Mountain View Park

“RPEN, the Retired Public Employees of Nevada, represents ALL public employees in Nevada and has since 1977, when a group of Nevada public employee retirees, discovered that upon retirement, retirees not only lived on fixed incomes but saw an increasingly greater percentage of their retirement income spent for health care, a phenomenon that still exists today. We’ve grown to 17 Chapters statewide and over 7,000 members, but there is always strength in numbers, so we invite you to read more about us in this non-member newsletter, and hope you will add your name to our member list!

If you’re still working you can still join RPEN as long as you’re vested in NV PERS with at least 5 years, or you’re 50 or older. It’s important to be concerned about protecting the pension you look forward to receiving, because any changes made to PERS could impact you when you retire. If you’re retired or plan to retire soon, we’re here to protect the pension you’re already enjoying! And if your spouse is also eligible to join RPEN, even if they are not a public employee.”
