Upcoming - Newly Designed LSERSWeb

LSERSWeb is an important bridge for transporting communications between LSERS and our membership. Employers perform a key role in most critical processes, so LSERS is striving to improve your experience with our web services.

We are currently testing the newly designed LSERSWeb and are excited for you to see its new face soon. With the new LSERSWeb, you will notice a new homepage layout, some minor format changes, along with other enhancements. These improvements will equip you with better tools to deliver timely and efficient services to our membership.

We will send you more detailed instructions and procedures when the new LSERSWeb goes live. Some of you may have been selected and contacted by our staff to be pilot testers. We really appreciate your cooperation and support on this renovation. Questions? Contact Michelle Bridges at mbridges@lsers.net or 225.925.6718.
