During the presentation, attendees were invited to submit real-time questions, which were addressed during the program.

The complete 2016 Employer Rate Meeting webinar program and the accompanying PowerPoint presentation are available for reference on IMRF's website, www.imrf.org.

Attend an Authorized Agent Certification Workshop

IMRF policies may change. To remain up-to-date, Authorized Agents and staff members who assist with day-to-day IMRF processes - including enrollment, wage reporting, benefit applications, and various member inquiries - are encouraged to attend an Authorized Agent Certification Workshop. The complete workshop calendar is available on IMRF's website, www.imrf.org, on the IMRF Workshops page.

Each one-day training workshop provides attendees an opportunity to learn more about IMRF procedures, changes to the Illinois Pension Code, and other topics that impact member benefits. Even if you have previously participated in a workshop, attendees will become more familiar with newly enhanced or adjusted practices that may help administer daily IMRF processes more quickly and accurately.

Interested attendees may register online for an Authorized Agent Certification Workshop using Employer Access. To register others at your employer who assist with IMRF duties, create a "Web Assistant" account for them through Employer Access so they may self-register for a workshop.
