PERS to remain closed to guests until May 11 in response to coronavirus

Hello.

The Public Employees’ Retirement System of Mississippi (PERS) will continue to remain closed to the public, visitors, and our membership until Monday, May 11, in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19). Retiree payroll will continue to be paid on schedule; our Call Center is open; and essential operations (e.g., processing retirement applications, refunds, and death reports) continue, as well.

HELPFUL RESOURCES:

Also, please note that many helpful resources can be found here on our website for those who have questions.

For mid-career members or those thinking about retiring, you might want to reference our Member Handbook, Service Retirement Guide, and Member Resources page.

For those already in retirement, please reference our Retiree Handbook, Return-to-Work Guide, and Retiree Resources page.

For our employers, we ask that you continue to report to us as usual. Available online for your reference are the MyPERS Reporting Guide for Employers, Employer Guide to Certifying Leave, and other resources.

The PERS website will be updated as new information is available; however, we encourage you to sign up for PERS eUpdates so that we can e-mail you any updates we have.

We thank each of you for your patience and support as we operate in this temporary environment. Please take care of yourselves and stay well! Thank you.

Ray Higgins

PERS Executive Director
