STATE EMPLOYERS SPECIAL EDITION
Retirement Records Database Now Open to You
Human resources and benefits professionals can now access the Retirement System's database via the Internet. The database will provide employers with direct access to information on their active employees like years of service, date of entry into the Retirement System, total retirement contributions, current year retirement contributions, and documents related to the employee's retirement.
Want In-Depth Disability Training?
The Retirement System's Employer Education Services Unit (EESU) will hold in-depth training on disability processes for human resources and benefits professionals. The sessions will walk employers through three employee case studies covering the following scenarios:
- Short-term and extended short-term disability
- Short-term and preliminary disability long-term to long term disability
- Disability benefits for a Faulkenbury-eligible employee.
Automated Service System Reinstalled
The Retirement System's automated service system is now up and running. To the dismay of many human resources and benefits professionals, the service - accessed by dialing 1-877-807-3131 or 919-807-3131 - was disconnected for several weeks. The service available now is more streamlined than the previous system and should make the experience shorter and more convenient for the caller.
