Why Rollover PERS Retirement Account?

Employer matching contributions are a great way to accumulate a good retirement account.

When it comes to looking at your PERS Retirement Rollover options, there could be the option for your pension to have a lump sum distribution option. The typical rate of return on a PERS Retirement pension is in the single digit percentage of growth.
