The Colorado Public Employees' Retirement Association (Colorado PERA) is the State-owned pension fund manager headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The firm was founded by state law in 1931. Colorado PERA provides retirement and other benefits to current and former employees of the Colorado state government, public school teachers in the state, many university and college employees, judges, many employees of cities and towns, State Troopers, and the employees of many other public entities. Colorado PERA is a substitute for Social Security for most of these public employees.
