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 how 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 reporting #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.
How to fill out section B
Question 1:
The key question on the form is the first question in section B. To answer that question correctly, ask yourself three questions about the employee. If you answer
yes to any one of these, then check
No for the first bullet.
- Are they in a classified, non-teaching position? ☐yes ☐no
- Did they work for 12 months (i.e., actually worked, not just paid)? If they did not work during the summer, answer no. ☐yes ☐no
- Is their contract part of a collective bargaining agreement (i.e., union-negotiated)? ☐yes ☐no
Question 2:
Your answer to the second question depends on your answer to the first question. If you checked
Yes for the first question in section B, check
Yes for the second question.
If you checked
No for the first question in section B, then your answer to the second question depends on the employee’s records. If you do not know the answer, leave it blank and
our Intake and Review team will email you if they need an answer to this question.
Next, electronically sign the form and fill in the date on which you completed the form. Save the form and return it to PERS by e-mailing attaching it to an email sent to
PERS.CIC@pers.oregon.gov or by faxing it to 503-431-8293.
