Benefits Employee
Benefits As a reminder, all State Employes' Retirement System (SERS) active members who contributed to SERS during the past year will receive an annual statement of account updated through the end of 1999. Statements will be mailed to the employees' home addresses of record by April 1.
For the third year, the SERS Statement will list the employee's principal beneficiary(ies), as designated by the member on the most recent "Nomination of Beneficiary(ies)" form on file with SERS at the end of 1999.
Members are reminded that if the beneficiary section of the statement is blank, in most cases it is because the active member's "Nomination of Beneficiary(ies)" form predates 1993, when SERS began computerizing this information.
The presence of beneficiary information on the statement is intended to remind the member about who is currently listed as his or her beneficiary. Employees should review their beneficiary information at times of change in their lives, such as the birth of a child, marriage, divorce or death of a spouse.
If you are an active member currently employed
and contributing to the SERS fund and you want to change your beneficiary selection,
contact the regional SERS Retirement Counseling Center to request a new "Nomination
of
Beneficiary(ies)" form.
If you do not receive your 1999 statement or if you feel there may be omissions or discrepancies in the statement, contact your SERS regional Retirement Counseling Center by calling toll-free (800) 633-5461.
Duplicate copies of the statement are available from SERS at a cost of $5 each. To obtain a duplicate copy, write to: SERS , Attention: Membership Services Division, P.O. Box 1147, Harrisburg, Pa. 17108-1147.
