PUBLIC SCHOOL EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM (PSERS)
MSS has been optimized to work on Windows-based platforms with a Chrome browser. Other platforms and devices (for example iPads) may not provide the user with the same quality experience. PSERS is working to make the user experience equally friendly across all platforms and devices. Until that work is complete, you may find that using a Windows-based device and the Chrome browser provides you with the best MSS experience.
You may have to disable the pop-up blocker on your browser. Instructions for Chrome, Edge, Safari.

Common Questions
When you register for MSS, you select how you would like to receive documents from PSERS -- through Paperless Delivery or by mail. You may change your paperless delivery status at any time in your MSS account.
Going paperless gives you immediate access to your PSERS account and eliminates the risk of losing or delaying receipt of important documents in the mail.
