These are our most commonly used forms.

Any form that requires notarization or attachments should be mailed to SCERS, 720 3rd Avenue, Suite 900, Seattle WA  98104 or dropped off in person.  Please note that active members should change their primary work phone number, home address, and personal email through Employee Self-Service (ESS).  Other changes such as name, marital status, gender, or work email must be made through their department. Home phone number changes can be made on the Change Form or through the Member Self-Service (MSS) Portal.
