SPOTLIGHT ON...


New Hire Kits Are Almost Ready


We will begin using an updated Retirement Choice Kit for new employees in late February. This updated kit will contain less written material than the original Retirement Choice Kit and will direct employees to MyFRS.com and phone resources for more detailed information. We will also offer a new brochure and a new video beginning in late February for you to use in your new hire orientations.

We'll let you know when these materials become available. Once they are, you'll be able to order them online through MyFRS.com or via telephone from the MyFRS Employer Assistance Line.
