Action Required: Salary Verification Report for Employers with Life Insurance through MOSERS

Aug 6, 2026, 09:07 AM by MOSERS

Each August, we ask employers to verify the annual salaries of benefit-eligible employees with basic life insurance coverage through MOSERS. This step ensures your employees receive the correct life insurance coverage for the upcoming year.

What You Need to Do

After submitting your payroll report for the pay period ending July 31, your Salary Verification Report will be available in Phoenix.

To access the report:
  • Log in to Phoenix.
  • Select Reporting from the left-hand menu.
  • Click Salary Verification.
  • Choose your reporting group.
No Rows to Verify?

If your report opens with no employees listed, that means no salaries in your reporting group need verification this year — nothing further is required on your part. The report is considered complete.

Important Deadline: Submit your completed Salary Verification Report by Friday, September 4.

Instructions

Step-by-step written instructions are available in the Salary Verification Quick Guide. You can also find the Quick Guide at any time under the Training section on the Phoenix Home screen.

Key Details to Remember

Basic life insurance coverage effective January 1, 2027, is equal to one times the employee's annual salary as of July 31, 2026.

Annual salary includes:
  • Regular earnings from a benefit-eligible position.
  • Recurring shift differential, security differential, and retention pay.
Annual salary excludes:
  • Overtime or other irregular, one-time payments.
  • Wages from non-benefit-eligible positions.
What's New This Year

Based on feedback from agency representatives who completed the report last year, we've made a few enhancements to improve the experience and streamline the verification process:

  • Export to Excel – You can now export both the Salary Rows to Verify and Past Rows Verified sections to Excel for easier review and recordkeeping.
  • Separate Name Fields – First name and last name now appear in separate fields, allowing for improved sorting and filtering.
  • Search Functionality – A search box is now available in both sections, making it easier to quickly locate specific employee records.
