The MySamCERA Portal for Active, Deferred and Retired SamCERA Members
As of March 1, 2017, MySamCERA is open for business!
What is MySamCERA?
MySamCERA is a secure, members-only portal for retirement benefits information, available on the web at: mysamcera.org.
MySamCERA replaces Web Member Services, which was part of a software system we’ve used to manage pension benefits for more than two decades. Over the last four years, we’ve been working to replace that software with a new system called V3 from Vitech. Most of this new software will operate “behind the scenes” here at SamCERA, but members will have access to MySamCERA as a window into their up-to-date retirement benefits. MySamCERA not only looks different than Web Member Services, it has lots of new features, too.
What can you do with MySamCERA?
Active and Deferred members can perform retirement benefit estimates, get member statements, check beneficiary information—and more. Retirees can view current and past 1099s, print Benefit Statements (i.e. pay stubs), view deductions and change withholdings, and generate Pension Income Verifications.
