News & Updates

Paperless Publications Environment
Beginning July 1, 2007, the South Carolina Retirement Systems will begin moving toward a paperless publications environment. Almost all of our publications can be easily accessed and viewed at www.retirement.sc.gov/publications. Any publications not yet available on this Web site will be made available shortly after the beginning of the new fiscal year.

This move will allow the Retirement Systems’ to better meet your needs and the needs of our members by enabling faster and more frequent updates to information. It is not our intention to ask employers to shoulder the cost of printing large quantities of our publications, but rather to direct employees to our Web site to access the information that they need. We hope to expand on both the type and content of the information we provide via the Internet as well.

Supply Requests (Form 8201)
Also beginning July 1, 2007, the South Carolina Retirement Systems will only accept Supply Requests (Forms 8201) from employers who do not have Internet access. All of the forms and publications listed on the Supply Request (Form 8201) are available at www.retirement.sc.gov/forms.

If you are not already utilizing the Retirement Systems’ Electronic Employer Services (EES), a secure, Web-based tool available to covered employers, contact the Retirement Systems to learn how EES can facilitate the completion of forms.

As always, we appreciate your cooperation and assistance!
