From time to time, you may need to update or correct member data for a previously reported year.

Complete an Ad Hoc Remittance via the Remittance process to report previous year adjustments. Your Ad Hoc Remittance must include the total member and employer contributions, as well as the following member level information:

    • Adjustment year
    • Weeks, if applicable
    • Low contribution amounts, if applicable
    • High contribution amounts, if applicable
    • Amended Pension Adjustment (PA) amount

Note: the above information should reflect the adjustment portion only and can be a positive or negative amount; however, the amended PA amount must reflect the total revised PA for the year. This information will be used to update the member’s record.

Previous Year Adjustments can be be reported manually by entering the information, or by using a file upload process.
