UPDATE - State of ½ûÂþÌìÌÃCybersecurity Issues Impacting Retirement Contributions

On February 6, 2025 the University of ½ûÂþÌìÌÃ(UA) was informed that eReporting, the Division of Retirement and Benefits payroll reporting application, is back online. The Division is now implementing a phased approach to bring all Division employers back online and process the backlog of plan contributions (both employee and employer). The Division is anticipating that this process will take a few months to complete.

Lost Earnings
The Division, in consultation with the Department of Law, has determined that it would be appropriate to provide compensation for potential lost earnings during the period contributions were not posted. The compensation method used will calculate earnings on plan contributions/deferrals from the date the first payroll should have been posted up to the day it is posted into employee accounts and ready for investment. 

Timing
UA is not sure how long it will take for the Division to be fully functional and process the backlog of plan contributions. As such, UA employees should not expect to see contributions or any lost earnings updated right away. The Division has implemented a phased approach and expects this process to take a few months.

Ongoing Updates
Please check the Division website at  and the Division's Facebook page at  for updates. You may also contact the Divisions Member Education Center at (907) 465-4460 or doa.drb.mscc@alaska.gov.
