Registration opens for August 18 webinar

Registration is now open for the IMRF-sponsored webinar, "What Small Employers (and their Boards) Need To Know About IMRF." The webinar will be held Tuesday, August 18, at 1:30 PM.

Presented by Louis Kosiba, Executive Director, and Mark Nannini, Chief Financial Officer, "What Small Employers (and their Boards) Need To Know About IMRF" will: explain why employer contribution rates for small employers are volatile, provide practical insights, and help employers avoid traps for the unwary. Governing bodies and staff of small employers will gain better understanding of IMRF as an important benefit that can attract and retain good employees. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation.

Attendees will be able to log in to the event beginning at 1:00 PM. Officers, governing body members, interested parties, and other officials are invited to register for "What Small Employers (and their Boards) Need To Know About IMRF" here.

Changing a member's address

An IMRF member may submit a change of address to IMRF, or his or her employer may provide assistance and submit the change for the member.

Employers may advise members to submit a change of address to IMRF directly through their Member Access account, by completing and returning Form 6.20 to IMRF via fax or mail, or by mailing a written note to IMRF's Oak Brook office informing of the change (the note must include the member's signature, and the Member ID number or the last four digits of the member's Social Security number.

To provide assistance, the employer may submit the address change for the member in Employer Access. To do this, log in to your Employer Access account, select "Members" on the main menu, then select "Change Member Information." A prompt will appear to choose the member's name from a list of the employer's IMRF members and change the address.

Please note employers can only use this process to change information for current employees who are participating in IMRF.
