Have you moved recently? Or perhaps changed phone numbers or email addresses? Did you remember to update your information with both your employer and the ASRS?
One common misconception is the belief that when a member updates personal information with their employer, the ASRS is provided updated information as well (or vice versa). In reality, if you need to update your information, you’ll need to update information both with the ASRS and your employer separately.
To update your information with the ASRS (or to verify that it is correct), please log into your secure myASRS account. Once logged in, the myASRS homepage will show the current information on file with a link allowing you to update each piece of information.
One note about the email address on file with the ASRS: if possible, it’s suggested to have a personal email address listed and not a work email address. This helps guard against future difficulties accessing your account should you change jobs, retire, or otherwise no longer have access to your work email address.
Why does the ASRS need your information? Primarily, it helps us keep your account secure, allowing us the ability to verify your identity should you need to call us about your account. It also ensures you receive any letters, notifications, or emails from the ASRS. Lastly, it helps make sure your wishes are properly carried out in the event of your death – having up-to-date beneficiaries listed makes sure your survivor benefit is paid according to your wishes.
For additional information and to log into your secure account, make sure to visit AzASRS.gov and click on the myASRS link in the top right.
