Only if the Plan Code will be different from employee to employee in a specific Report Type. 

The Plan Code identifies the Retirement Plan under which each member is participating. For PLDs, the correct Plan Code for each employee is based on the election made by the employer when the employer joined the Consolidated Plan and may be
subject to certain eligibility requirements.  For Teachers, the correct Plan Code is based on the number of years of creditable service the member had accumulated in the Retirement System on June 30, 1993.

Please begin transitioning to the new MainePERS Reporting program available in Version 2021.11 & Higher!

You will need to start with the MainePERS Reporting - Setup document to review and complete the required setup steps.  Once setup is completed, please review the MainePERS Reporting - Processing document for step-by-step instructions on the new program.  At that point, please Generate records in the new program and compare them to the records submitted from the old program for the same Reporting Month/Year.  If everything matches, begin using the new program.  Otherwise, please reach out to State Reporting Support for assistance with identified differences. 

As you make your way through the process of transitioning to the new program, please reach out to EERP State Reporting Support if you encounter a question, a concern, or something that feels cumbersome.  We look forward to your feedback and any additional improvements we can make!
