State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS)

The State Universities Retirement System of Illinois (SURS) provides retirement, disability, death, and survivor benefits to eligible SURS participants and annuitants.

As a new member of SURS, you must choose a retirement plan within the first 6 months of your employment. Your choice will depend on the types of benefits you wish to receive in the future, as well as the amount of personal involvement you want in determining where and how your contributions are invested.

Learn more by reading The Power of Choice Workbook. Created by SURS, it is intended to provide you with guidance and an overview of important investment concepts. Please read the workbook thoroughly and take time to understand the information it contains.
