FY08 Annual Member Statements Notice

If you are an employer who reports via magnetic media, you may receive your Annual Member Statements in alphabetical order or you may request that they be sorted by location code. If you prefer sorting by location code, please provide location codes on your June 30, 2008, Quarterly Contribution Report. If the location code is omitted, your statements will automatically be sorted in alphabetical order.

To implement location codes, please use the following procedures:

• The field labeled MAILING LOCATION on the detail record of the quarterly contribution report is five characters long and located in positions 9 – 13. This alphanumeric field may include letters, numbers or a combination of both. Employers using less than five characters should fill the entire five-character field with leading zeros. This field can be used for an internal department code or for any other area or location that you choose. This optional field will be used to sort your statements, unless it is blank.
  
• If you use software from a vendor, please consult them on how to access this field.
  
• If you use Electronic Employer Services – Employer Reporting (EESER), provided by the South Carolina Retirement Systems, the instructions and help screens explain how to set the MAILING LOCATION field.
  

If you have questions concerning magnetic media reporting, please call Kathy Dupuy at 803-737-6928.
