ASRS Return To Work

Mandatory Procedures

Effective July 1, 2013 the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) adopted a new mandatory process for ASRS members who choose to return to work after retirement.

It is important to note that according to ASRS, it is the member's responsibility to ensure compliance with the ASRS Return to Work rules and statutes. Failure to do so can result in suspension of benefits and repayment of unlawfully paid benefits.

The ASRS has a new Working After Retirement feature in the “My ASRS” secure pages that can assist members and retirees in this process.

• Log onto the ASRS website: www.azasrs.gov • Go to the "Retirees" link at the top of the page • The drop down will show: "Return to Work" • Read and follow the instructions on the “Return to Work” page then click on the tab: MyASRS • Login. On the left hand side is a list of items to choose from: • Click on "Working After Retirement." • You will see a “Working After Retirement” form to be completed.

Retirees who return to work for an ASRS employer after retirement are required to submit this form within 30 days of starting employment.

• This form will tell you if you can continue to receive your pension while you work. • It will also allow you to suspend your pension and resume active membership.

You will need to submit a new form if you change your work hours with your current employer or accept direct employment with a different ASRS employer.

Not retired yet? This estimator will provide guidance if you plan to work after you retire. To start a new form, click on the Return to Work Guidelines on the ASRS Website link below and then click on the checkbox: “I have read the Return to Work Guidelines on the ASRS website and wish to continue.”

• Click on the "Return to Work Guidelines" to read the instructions. • After you have read the "Return to Work Guidelines" put a check-mark in the box and complete the fill-in form appropriately. • Click "submit" at the end.

This information will then be sent to TUHSD for verification. Contact Andi Jacquemin 480.839.0292 ext. 15041.

Should you have any trouble logging on or completing the form on-line, please contact an ASRS representative at 602-240-2000.

Dr. Kenneth R. Baca Dr. Kevin J. Mendivil Superintendent Associate Superintendent

TO: Tempe Union High School District Return to Work Substitutes – Certified and Classified

FROM: Dr. Kevin Mendivil, Associate Superintendent Shaneeta Robbins, Substitute Coordinator

DATE: July 1, 2015

SUBJECT: Notification of REVISED ASRS Alternative Contribution Rate Effective July 1, 2015

Effective July 1, 2015, the Alternative Contribution Rate (ACR) for Arizona State Retirees will change to 9.36%. The ACR applies to all ASRS retirees who return to work in any capacity and in a position ordinarily filled by an employee of the employer. This legislative change was initiated by ASRS and became effective July 1, 2012 to mitigate the potential actuarial impact that retired members who return to work might have on the Trust Fund.

If you are a certificated substitute and your regular daily rate of pay is:

• $42.50 (1-3 hours) = $38.52; $85 (4-5hours) = $76.64; $102 (6 or more hours) = $92.45 • $60 (1-3 hours)= $54.38; $120 (4-5hours) = $108.76; $144 (6 or more hours) = $130.52

If you are a classified hourly substitute, the normal hourly rate of pay for your position will be reduced by 9.36% to cover the cost.

The ACR impacts your compensation regardless of the number of days or hours worked. The legislation requires that each participating district make the ACR payment to ASRS, and not the employee. We are providing this information because we want you to have as much information as possible to make an informed decision regarding future substitute assignments with TUHSD.

If you have any questions regarding this memo, please contact my office at 480-345-3737.
