Retirement Rewrite Project Complete!  Changes to be included in the April Standard Release!

The April Standard Release (April 9 – 11) will include several exciting changes to retirement processing in WESPaC!   Our districts can expect to receive details and a plan of action from NWRDC by the end of March. 

Listed below are some of the changes coming up:

• Calculate Exceptions report to include 10 new warning & error messages.  There are also 7 warning & error messages that have been removed and 3 that have been changed.  These changes will assist districts in better identifying potential retirement issues before they happen.
• The Plan 0 to Plan 2 or 3 calculation process has been changed to remove the need to enter manual adjustments.
• Retirement rebalancing will be processed completely within the month data is modified.
• No more disconnected retirement transactions – the system will know how to appropriately re-connect the data!
•  Start & stop dates on retirement ded/bens will be a thing of the past!  The Retirement Member Profile eligibility dates will completely control how/when retirement is reported.
• Retirement Hours field in pay records, whether used in worksheet or pay tab area, will be used for retirement reporting & will no longer be “not applicable in our state”.
