  • Start the New Year Strong: Prepare Your ASRS Employer Account for Upcoming Security Enhancements

    A new year is the perfect time to review, refresh, and strengthen your ASRS Secure Employer Account. In the coming months, the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) will transition to ID.me multi-factor authentication (MFA) to further protect employer and member information.

    To ensure a smooth transition and avoid any interruption to your ability to conduct business with ASRS, employer action is essential.

  • What if you need to Terminate an Employee on Long Term Disability?

    An Employee's resignation or termination does not affect their Long-Term Disability (LTD) claim or its processing. If the Employee is no longer employed when they begin the application process, they may still be eligible, provided they were an active contributing member of the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) as of the potential date of disability. 

    If the LTD claim is approved and the Employee begins receiving LTD benefit payments, they will continue to accrue ASRS service credit toward their retirement.
