Salary Reporting for 9-Month Employees

Salary upload files for monthly Salary Contribution Reports for the months of July and August should reflect zeroes for 9-month employees unless the employees did work and receive earnings during those months.  Correctly reporting zeros will greatly reduce the number of error messages on the Exception Reports.  If you have any questions, contact Kimberly Stewart at 225.925.4411 or via email kstewart@lsers.net.

Form 4C Contribution Payments Transmittal (Clarification)

Last month’s Employer eNews informed you of the discontinuance of several paper forms.  For clarification, the Form 4C has been converted from a paper form to an online form.  It must be submitted to LSERS when a payment is made.  Once you have completed the form online, simply hit the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form and it will automatically be emailed to LSERS.   Payments are posted to your account upon receipt of the online Form 4C.  If you have any questions, please contact Kim Stewart at 225.925.4411 or via email at kstewart@lsers.net.

Best Practices for Completing Beneficiary Form

For accurate and timely processing of Named Beneficiary, Form 3, please ensure that these guidelines are followed:
 
  • Discard outdated forms and replace with latest revision dated 7/13.  The most current version is located on our website at www.lsers.net under Resources>Forms.
  • Form shall not be altered.  A form is considered altered when the name of the beneficiary is marked through or altered using whiteout or other corrective methods.
  • Complete multiple forms if more than three primary beneficiaries or contingent designations are to be named.  Be sure to mark the box “Check here if more than one form is submitted” located above Section 1.
  • Form must be signed by the member.
  • Form must be witnessed and signed by two persons who are not named beneficiary(ies).
  • When listing multiple primary beneficiaries, percentages should total 100%.This also applies to contingent beneficiaries.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Alison Kessler at 225.925.6485 or 1.800.256.3718 if outside the Baton Rouge calling area or by email at webmaster@lsers.net.
