As you may know, we are building a new pension administration system (PAS)! Our current PAS was built in the late 1980s and has served us well for more than 30 years, but it is nearing the end of its life expectancy. The new PAS will help us:

• Sustain and improve customer service for all stakeholders including members and employers
• Become more efficient and increase automation
• Improve accuracy of member data and controls

The PAS is analogous to the central nervous system of  MOSERS. Building it is a multi-year project. We  expect to provide members, staff, and employers with a modernized system on an updated platform in late  2022.

The PAS  contains all demographic data (name, address, SSN, Member ID, DOB, bank account numbers, etc.), individual service dates, salary history, employment status,  contribution balances, and benefit payment history for all members. It is the central hub for tracking and processing nearly everything MOSERS does related to benefit administration. Staff rely on it for accurately producing everything from routine correspondence to Annual Benefit Statements, to pension inceptions, to member payments. 

Employers interact with the PAS to submit member payroll and service credit information, including the submission of changes such as terminations or leaves of absence. 

Your input as an employer representative is vital to the overall success of our PAS project. There will be different points along this journey when we need your input. We have engaged approximately 25 employer representatives so far regarding the submission of payroll data. Now, we need to hear from you,  as one of our valuable partners. We encourage you to participate in our upcoming survey on April 30^th.

Your input will help us gauge the overall understanding of the PAS among employer representatives and help guide us regarding future communications to you about the PAS.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
