Federally Funded Wage Certification Due 04/15/2018 for 01/01/2018 through 03/31/2018

In addition to your regular retirement reporting responsibilities, the Retirement Act requires you to certify federally funded wages to ORS on a quarterly basis. For this purpose, federal funds are the total reportable wages paid to employees from federal monies such as grants.

ORS uses this data to create statistical reports for the legislature, other state agencies, and the system actuary.

Online certification of these wages is due on 04/15/2018 for the quarter that began on 01/01/2018 and ended on 03/31/2018. Step-by-step instructions can be found in section 7.19.00 Reporting FF/ORP/UAL Wages on the Employer Reporting Website of the Reporting Instruction Manual (RIM).

If you have any questions, please email Employer Reporting at ORS_Web_Reporting@michigan.gov.
