ENROLLMENT INFORMATION
NEW - ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATION DUE FROM EMPLOYERS
Chapter 52, P.L. 2011, (N.J.S.A. 43:3C-15) requires employers to complete training on the rules and regulations governing eligibility and enrollment in New Jersey State-administered retirement systems and annually certify for each member of a retirement system that the enrolled person is eligible for membership in the retirement system in accordance with the statutes and regulations of the retirement system.
The Chapter 52 Annual Membership Certification online application is now available to employers in the Employer Pensions and Benefits Information Connection (EPIC).
Failure to comply with the certification requirement will prevent the Division from accepting any new enrollment applications from the employing location until the certifications are completed.
On March 14, 2013, a Certifying Officer Letter was sent to designated and trained Certifying Officers and Supervisors of Certifying Officers informing them that they must both complete the Chapter 52 Annual Membership Certification within 30 days of receipt of the letter.
Read the Certifying Officer Letter or find out more about Chapter 52 Enrollment Training and Certification Requirements.
