Indiana Public Retirement launches "Reclaim Your Retirement"
Contributed By: The 411 News
6,083 INPRS members have retirement money waiting to be claimed.
INDIANAPOLIS - Thousands of Hoosiers may have forgotten they have retirement benefits earned through public service.
The Indiana Public Retirement System (INPRS) has launched a secure public database that all Hoosiers can search to identify a potentially forgotten pension benefit, defined contribution account, or account distribution from their Public Employees’ Retirement Fund or Teachers’ Retirement Fund.
Visitors to the Reclaim Your Retirement secure database must enter a first name, last name, and date of birth including the four-digit year to initiate a search. If there is a match in the database, the resulting text will provide instructions on what the named individual or their survivor or beneficiary should do next.
As of October 2025, 3,704 INPRS members are eligible to request their earned retirement benefits, representing a median monthly benefit payment ranging from $545.50 to $783.50. These individuals may also have a defined contribution account waiting for them, with balances averaging $14,451 to $33,342.
INPRS is also seeking to reconnect 2,379 retirees, survivors, and beneficiaries with the funds previously issued to them but have not been utilized, a result often driven by outdated address records.
In some situations, benefit checks were delivered as intended but never deposited.
The public can search INPRS’s secure database to identify their potentially forgotten retirement benefits and, if their search results indicate a match, find out if they’re due a benefit today.
The Reclaim Your Retirement secure database lists members who may be due a retirement benefit or whose survivors or beneficiaries have benefits to collect.
Everyone is invited to visit the Reclaim Your Retirement secure database, available at www.in.gov/inprs/reclaimyourretirement, and search for themselves, friends, family members, former colleagues, and the like for a match.
When a search for someone other than you is successful, let that person know right away.
When calling INPRS, individuals should be prepared to authenticate their identity. INPRS is only able to assist members, survivors, and beneficiaries directly regarding their accounts and the reason their name is present on the Reclaim Your Retirement secure database.
The database will be updated regularly as INPRS strives to reconnect members with their well-earned retirement benefits so they can realize their retirement dreams.
