Payroll & HR Partners,

PERS has notified us that their status check fax line is not working properly. PERS expects intermittent outages with their phone and fax lines to continue for awhile before a permanent resolution occurs.

Please see the previous email below that outlines contact methods for receiving a status check from PERS.

Thank you,


Shauna Tobiasson |  Senior CPERS Analyst

Subject: PERS Status Check Options

Greetings HR & Payroll Partners,

CPERS & PERS have partnered to provide additional options for obtaining a status check. The CPERS website has been updated to outlined these three options. That information can be found here: https://www.oregon.gov/das/Financial/Payroll/Pages/cpers.aspx

The options are listed here in order of PERS preference:

     *   Phone: Contact PERS Employer Center at 1-888-320-7377 M-F between the hours of 8:30-12:00.
     *   Fax: Fill out the Status Check Form (link)<https://www.oregon.gov/das/Financial/Payroll/Pages/cpers.aspx#main-content> and fax it to PERS directly. PERS will completes section B, columns 4-9 and fax the form back to the agency.
     *   If phone & fax are unavailable, Email: DAS.Status.Checks at PERS.oregon.gov<mailto:DAS.Status.Checks at PERS.oregon.gov> to request a status check. PERS has asked that this option only be used if phone and fax are unavailable. CPERS would prefer agencies contact PERS by phone if the SSN is required for PERS to complete the status check. If email is the only available option, please only include the last 4 digits of the SSN for security reasons.
Due to an ongoing high volume of calls, there may be intermittent connectivity or busy signals when calling PERS. PERS is working to remedy the situation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the information in this email.
Thank you,
Shauna Tobiasson |  Senior CPERS Analyst
