Pension benefits in Senate and House IPERS proposals
The IPERS plan changes affect public workers with current pensions near 47 percent of top five salaries and a $20 000 earnings ceiling. The Senate would raise to 50 percent and a House version would cap at 50 percent with $20 000, while a 21 000 to 23 000 ceiling proposal failed. Amendments to buy back years and raise employer contributions were rejected.
