Kentucky Retirement Systems Agency Name Change

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations... say what?

For those of us (nerds?) who have had a hard time keeping track of “KRS” as in “Kentucky Retirement Systems,” versus “KRS” as in “Kentucky Revised Statutes”… relief is on the way!

Breaking news announcement from new soon-to-be KPPA:

Effective April 1, 2021, the Kentucky Retirement Systems (KRS) as an agency of the Commonwealth will be known as the Kentucky Public Pensions Authority (KPPA).

In 2020, House Bill 484 established a new governance structure for KRS resulting in the agency’s name change, however, our staff will remain the same. Members will not experience any changes in the services currently provided by KRS.

Our new logo and our new name will become more prominent in the coming months. As a cost savings measure, members may still see "KRS" on printed correspondence and publications during this transition period as we continue to use our remaining stock.
