In other words, <strong>ACTION IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART!<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><strong>Your elections must be submitted in miAccount before the 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Friday, October 26, 2012.<\/strong>\u00a0 There have been two temporary restraining orders on Public Act 300 of 2012 issued by the court. The practical effect of these orders is that the election window remains open until the courts take action. In addition, if the new provisions are found to be unconstitutional, ORS members will be allowed to rescind or change their elections.\u00a0 However, if the court order is lifted, the deadline for making choices will remain October 26. Therefore, employees are encouraged to log into miAccount to learn more about their choices for their retirement healthcare and their retirement plan and to make their elections in miAccount prior to October 26.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>These are important decisions that will affect your future financial security. As a District, our priority is to get all employees to access their personalized election materials and ultimately make their elections in miAcount, ORS\u2019s online retirement account access tool.\u00a0 By making your elections, you&#8217;ll be able to print out a confirmation of your choices that you can keep for your records.<\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>ORS has provided personalized pension estimates, a list of Frequently Asked Questions, payback calculators, and other resources in miAccount to help you make the election that is best for you.\u00a0 If you haven\u2019t already done so, please take the time to register with the ORS and create your miAccount.\u00a0\u00a0 <strong>To register for your miAccount with ORS, go to <a>https:\/\/ssprd.state.mi.us\/wss\/security\/login.do?method=showLogin&amp;retirementSystemId=1030<\/a> and click on the \u201cNew User \u2013 Register Now\u201d button.\u00a0 You will need your 8 digit Member ID number.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;font-size: small\">Here is a link that provides information on the two sessions to register for MI Acoount.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/humanresources\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2012\/10\/NewsletterORSOct12-1.pdf\">NewsletterORSOct12-1<\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Trebuchet MS;font-size: small\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To all: Please print and post the attached. \u00a0It contains information on the upcoming retirement changes and the workshops that have been scheduled at the Administrative Service Center.\u00a0 Everyone needs to take action on this.\u00a0 If you do not make a choice one will be made for you.\u00a0 Please help inform your co-workers by passing&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":1,"label":"Class News"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"Erin Mcingvale","author_link":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/author\/mcingve\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":1,"name":"Class News","slug":"class-news","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":247,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":247,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Class News","category_nicename":"class-news","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/429\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dearbornschools.org\/humanresourcesblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
