The Nebraska Public Employees Retirement Systems (NPERS) is a state government agency responsible for administering retirement, disability, and survivor benefit plans for Nebraska's public workforce. Governed by the Public Employees Retirement Board, its mandate encompasses managing pension plans for school employees, state employees, judges, the State Patrol, and county personnel. The agency's governing board was officially established by the Nebraska Legislature in 1971, and its administrative oversight expanded in 1973 to incorporate county retirement systems.
