ASRS Refund Information

As communicated by Human Resources on May 11th, Governor Brewer signed House Bill 2264 into law on May 7, 2012. This new law reverses last year’s legislation mandating a 53/47 percent employee/employer split of the total Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS) contribution rate. ASRS contributions have now returned to the historical 50/50 percent employee/employer split.  This change was reflected in your May 18, 2012 paycheck.
