Pre-Retirement Education Programs (PREP)

Our PREP Program is designed to educate you about your benefits in a group setting. The program is intended to make you aware of the need to start planning your future today and address many of the questions and issues you will face as you travel down the road to retirement, including:

  • When can I retire, and how are my benefits determined?
  • When is the best time to retire, and what options are available to increase my benefit?
  • What insurance benefits will I be eligible for when I retire, and how much will they provide?

In addition to providing information about your benefits, the PREP program also features guest speakers and discussion forums on: Estate Planning, Social Security Benefits, Kentucky Public Employees’ Deferred Compensation, Health and Wellness and Transitioning into Retirement.

As a member of the Systems, we encourage you to attend a Pre-Retirement Education Program (PREP), particularly if you are within ten years of retirement; however, much of the information covered in the seminar is relevant at all ages and stages of work, and any member of the Systems is welcome to attend.


In an effort to address the immediate needs of our members who are retiring throughout this year and the unprecedented demand on resources at the retirement office, KRS is not conducting PreRetirement Education Programs (PREP) in 2008.

Members may request specific account information by contacting KRS. In addition, we encourage members to utilize the retirement calculators and benefit estimator program on our website.

Thank you for your understanding during this very busy time.
