The Office of Retirement Services (ORS) is launching miAccount, a secure section of the ORS website, where active members can view, print, and change their personal account information. Customers will need their unique Member ID to access miAccount.
ORS is moving to a Member ID rather than a social security number to safeguard customers' confidential retirement information. Note: Employer reporting will not be affected by the use of Member IDs; social security numbers will continue to be used to report wage and service information to ORS.
Unique Member IDs will be sent to your employees in their 2008 Member Statement, which we’ll begin mailing this fall. They may receive the number sooner if they contact us before the statements are mailed.
New employees reported on or after April 1, 2008 will receive their Member ID in their personalized ORS welcome letter. This letter will encourage them to login to miAccount and nominate their beneficiary. The ORS would like employers to discontinue providing paper beneficiary nomination forms to new employees and, instead, encourage them to use miAccount.
Once your employees have received their Member ID and signed up with miAccount they will be able to submit and update beneficiary information online. Encourage your employees to login to miAccount to nominate their beneficiary.
