Kentucky

The Kentucky Public Pension Coalition (KPPC) is committed to protecting Kentucky’s retirement for the future.

About Kentucky's Coalition

Public employees and retirees have joined together to form the Kentucky Public Pension Coalition. The purpose of the coalition is to defend and preserve retirement security for the workers and retirees of the commonwealth, its city and county governments, and school systems across Kentucky. The coalition represents the interests of more than 350,000 Kentuckians who have worked hard serving the commonwealth and expect to be involved in any conversations regarding their retirement security.


Kentucky Pension Facts:

  • Kentucky sponsors 3 major retirement systems that provide benefits for hundreds of thousands of retirees. You can learn more about the performance of these plans in the Commonwealth of Kentucky’s 2017 report Pension Performance and Best Practices Analysis.
  • The average pension benefit in Kentucky is $1,727, according to the National Institute on Retirement Security.

  • Pensions support local economies and help Kentucky communities thrive. Each $1 paid out in pension benefits supports $1.43 in total economic activity in Kentucky.

Pension Trustee Advisors Finds PFM Analysis Too Optimistic: “Solution” Will Cost More for Worse Benefits.

A review of PFM’s August report on proposed changes to Kentucky’s retirement conducted by the Pension Trustee Advisors (PTA) finds that the proposals will cost more to Kentucky’s taxpayers and its employees while providing lower benefits.

Find a summary of the report here.

On average, women earn 84% of men's wages. That percentage is even smaller for women of color–contributing to income insecurity in retirement. Pensions help to close these income gaps for women and provide security in retirement. https://protectpensions.org/2023/03/22/pensions-help-women-close-the-income-gap-repost/
