In what follows the notation and terminology of [7] are used and all rings are assumed to have a unity element.

The purpose of this note is to give some partial answers to the question: under which conditions on a ring A and a group G is the group ring AG semi-perfect?

For the convenience of the reader a few definitions and results will be reviewed. A ring R is called semi-perfect if R/RadR (Jacobson radical) is completely reducible and idempotents can be lifted modulo RadR (i.e., if x is an idempotent of R/RadR there is an idempotent e of R so that e + RadR = x).
