Colorado PERA

@karlfisch Thanks for letting us know. They are working to resolve the issue now.

@ColoradoPERA FYI, the volume on the livestream is pretty low. I can hear it, but only with my volume turned up to 100%, and it's still a little low.

@karlfisch Apologies for the technical difficulties. Thanks for listening in!

@ColoradoPERA FYI: We've lost audio on the livestream.

@karlfisch Apologies for the technical difficulties. It should be back shortly.

@ColoradoPERA FYI, the live stream of the Board meeting just stopped.

We’re thrilled to kick off today’s Commitment to Excellence Awards at the beautiful @HistoryColorado Center! Huge thanks to @ColoradoPERA for their generous sponsorship and for helping us celebrate the outstanding contributions of our faculty, staff, and instructors.

@helloworld_2020 Because it is a separate platform, you are required to log in again.

@helloworld_2020 Thank you for your feedback. We use multifactor authentication for the secure site to add an extra layer of protection to your account. When you click the link to go to your PERAPlus account, it takes you to coperaplus.org, which is managed by Empower.

@ColoradoPERA why do I have to login twice on the PERA portal, including getting two, 2 step auth texts? One is to get to portal and second is to access the 401k page. As a former IT guy, it should be a simple solve.

@karlfisch Apologies for the technical difficulties. All issues should be resolved. Thanks for listening in!

@ColoradoPERA Just FYI, the livestream of the Investment Committee meeting seems to have cut off before the meeting was finished.

@karlfisch Thanks for your input. We appreciate it! Please note, meeting materials will be posted on copera.org one day after each of the three sessions this week.

@ColoradoPERA I understand the possible downsides, but I do appreciate the posting of recordings of Board Meetings starting in November. I wonder if materials (pdfs of the slide decks) could also be linked?

@sitbones For additional information, we encourage you to reach out to UnitedHealthcare. Here is a link to their statement: uhc.com/hcacolorado

@ColoradoPERA When will we get the details?

@ColoradoPERA Need update on negotiations between HCA and UHC. Last update was August 5. Sept 1 when contract expires is this Sunday.

@StoinkRocker You can opt to receive your MFA code via text message to a mobile phone or a call to your landline. This serves as an extra layer of security for PERA members. If you are unable to log in online, you can call Customer Service to ask for specific information from your account.

Logging in is exactly what I'm trying to do and your phone reps say I have to have a phone to log in that I have to get a your website says I can get a code but you people just want me to have a phone which I don't have

@StoinkRocker Thank you for clarifying. It sounds like you are having trouble with the multifactor authentication (MFA). With MFA, you access your information online using not only your User ID and password, but also a security code.

@StoinkRocker We are sorry to hear you had trouble contacting customer service. If you'd like to send a secure message, you can log into your online account here: secure.copera.org/secure/User/Si… Otherwise, please try calling Customer Service again at 1-800-759-7372.

@ColoradoPERA tried to get code phone rep say have to get phone verification so why does website claim you can get code from a rep. Phone number is not working is rep just being lazy and lying?

@cagreenfield We know it has been challenging for benefit recipients, but this ensures we can continue to pay benefits for decades to come. Information about PERA's AI can be found here: copera.org/retirees/benef…

@cagreenfield Due to the reforms enacted through SB 200 in 2018, the amount of PERA's annual increase is set in statute and adjusts up or down based on PERA’s funding progress.

@ColoradoPERA how do you justify your failure to keep up with inflation? In 14 years, my pension hasn’t increased even $1k per year. Social security has increased 18% in the last 3 years.

Colorado PERA has released its 2023 Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. copera.org/pera-releases-…
