Employer Update

Encourage members to claim their myVRS Accounts: The most important way VRS members can help protect themselves from identity theft involving their benefits is to set up their online myVRS accounts soon after they’re hired. By registering for myVRS, completing the identity-verification steps and then establishing a password-protected account, members will help prevent someone else from attempting to claim the account fraudulently.

Defined contribution plan distribution requests move online: To improve account security and efficiency, VRS defined contribution plan participants may now conveniently request a distribution through Account Access, ICMA-RC’s secure online portal.
