MSS Portal

The Member Self-Service Portal will be down for maintenance on Friday, December 6th from 9:00 pm to midnight.

Posting of Contributions and Service Credit to Member Accounts

Due to the Workday implementation, there is a delay in posting SCERS contributions and service credit to member accounts. Please allow up to two weeks from the pay date for your account to be updated. This does not impact your interest nor your SCERS benefits calculations.

Updates to an active employee’s home phone number in Workday will automatically update the home phone number on file at SCERS. Updates to a rehired retiree’s personal information (e.g. name, address, phone, email address) in Workday will no longer automatically update the information on file at SCERS. Rehired retirees will need to submit a contact change form from the SCERS website or MSS portal.

Dual Membership/Portability

If you have earned service credit in one of Washington State's public retirement systems, or the cities of Spokane or Tacoma, you may be able to combine your SCERS service credit with credit you earned in other system(s).

You are a dual member if you belong to more than one eligible retirement system. Dual member systems and plans include:

Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) Plan 1, 2, and 3
Teachers' Retirement System (TRS) Plan 1, 2, and 3
School Employees' Retirement System (SERS) Plan 2 and 3
Public Safety Employees' Retirement System (PSERS) Plan 2
Law Enforcement Officers' and Fire Fighters' Retirement System (LEOFF) Plan 2
Washington State Patrol Retirement System (WSPRS) Plan 1 and 2
City of Seattle
City of Spokane
City of Tacoma

Dual membership may affect your:

Eligibility to Retire
Benefit Calculation
Vesting

Under dual membership, you receive a separate defined benefit from each of your systems. The benefit you receive from each system will be based on the service credit you have accumulated in that system.

If you have dual membership/portability, please complete and submit the Portability Claim Form.
