Your 11-digit OPERS ID is a unique identifier designed to increase the security of your personal information. This unique identifier can be used in many instances from verifying your identity over the phone to submitting OPERS forms, and will remain with you throughout your entire OPERS membership.

OCERP (Ohio County Employees Retirement Plan) – a tax deferred payroll savings program to help county employees prepare for their retirement (formerly known as the CCAO Deferred Compensation Program)

As a member of OPERS, you do not pay into Social Security. Instead, you contribute 10 percent of your salary to OPERS and your employer contributes the equivalent of 14 percent of your salary. OPERS invests these contributions in order to provide you with retirement benefits when you retire.

There are two ways to do a rollover. You can do either a direct rollover or a 60-day rollover. If you do a direct rollover, OPERS will make the payment directly to your IRA or an employer plan. You should contact the IRA sponsor or the administrator of the employer plan for information on how to do a direct rollover.

A Retiree Medical Account is an account you can use to pay for qualified health care expenses you incur after you have terminated OPERS-covered employment. The RMA is not a comprehensive health care insurance plan.
