Victory for Indiana’s Retirees! Thank Your Legislators for Passing HB 1145.

Honoring Service. Strengthening Retirement Security.

We have great news! Thanks to your advocacy and the leadership of our state lawmakers, House Bill 1145 has officially passed both the Indiana House and Senate.

This is a major victory for Indiana’s retired public employees. By approving the 2026 13th Check, our legislators have sent a clear message: Indiana honors the lifelong dedication of those who served our state and local communities.

At RIPEA, we want to ensure our Representatives and Senators know that their support does not go unnoticed. For thousands of Hoosiers living on fixed incomes, this supplemental payment provides much-needed retirement security and helps manage the rising cost of living.
