[DAS_Centralized_PERS_Services_Team] USERRA Resources & IAP Voluntary Contributions

[TOBIASSON Shauna M * DAS]

Good morning HR & Payroll Partners,

The USERRA Guide has been updated to include recent system and statutory changes, along with critical information for IAP Voluntary Contributions (IAP VC).

USERRA stands for "The Uniform Services Employment Reemployment Rights Act". It is a federal reemployment law that protects the jobs & benefits of employees who are called to service. From a PERS perspective USERRA provides PERS contributions for qualifying periods of service so that the employees PERS account remains whole.

Qualifying USERRA wages are considered PERS Subject Salary for IAP VC elections. If employees enrolled in IAP VC do not stop their IAP VC with PERS before beginning USERRA leave, they will owe the IAP VC for the period of service when they return from leave.

For more information, please review the USERRA Guide on the CPERS website<https://www.oregon.gov/das/Financial/Payroll/Pages/cpers.aspx>.

If you have any questions, please contact me.

Thank you,
