If an employee at your school who is working under a personal contract applies for retirement, PERS may need more information about the employee’s contract to process their retirement benefits. In this case, PERS will email you a Certification of Individual Contract (CIC) form from PERS.CIC@pers.oregon.gov.
This webpage explains what you need to know to fill out this form correctly.
Tips
Make sure your contact information is up to date.
PERS will email the form to the contact we have on record for your school. This is usually the person assigned the role of employer reporter #1. If no one is assigned that role, we will send it to your web administrator. It is important to keep this role current to avoid delaying the employee’s retirement process.
The contract referred to on this form only applies to an individual contract between an employee and the school.
It does not apply to a collective bargaining agreement negotiated by a union, which is a group contract.

Question 2:
Did you check
Yes for the first question in section B? If so, check
Yes.
Did you check
No for the first question in section B? If so, answer
