In case you received this information, we'd like to clarify. * PERS bills each agency a fee of .40 per employee for their services as State Social Security Administrator. That relates to the Social Security Section 218 agreement that state public employees are covered by Social Security. * Each January, OSPS provides PERS with the number of employees who received a W-2 from each agency. That is the basis for the billing. * In January, we send report XREF11 to each agency payroll office which gives you W-2 summary information. Your employee count is on that report. * PERS says that they are currently billing for calendar year 2006 and will be billing for calendar year 2007 next year. * They process that billing through J Clarety and you will receive an invoice. To validate the invoice, compare the number of employees on XREF11 against the billing amount @ .40 per employee. If there are questions about the invoice, you should contact Karen Park at PERS. Karen.park at state.or.us * Once 2008 W-2s have been produced, OSPS will provide the 2008 employee counts to PERS. You do not need to provide this information - we will do it for you. We hope this clears up any questions you may have had.
