I suspect that PERS will have the data in two forms on the 21st. One with and one without the names. Depending on the judge's real-time ruling, one or the other will be provided to the newspapers.

It sure feels like we are all hanging by a thread. At this point I have very little faith in the good will of either the papers *or* PERS where it concerns PERS retirees or members.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980916819424254337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-43463566675672070412011-10-31T10:25:28.340-07:002011-10-31T10:25:28.340-07:00@jgotime.

If they don't release FAS, which is generally higher than FS, there may be more people earning greater than 100% of FS than FAS. Not sure why they would do that except that it is an easier piece of information to extract and is less complicated to explain. The other reason is that it will deflate the final salaries somewhat.<mrfearless47https://www.blogger.com/profile/03454690519716783056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957094.post-10146714096906514472011-10-31T09:29:46.359-07:002011-10-31T09:29:46.359-07:00I have two small clarifications with this particul...I have two small clarifications with this particular post. <br /><br />First, it says that PERS will release your "initial benefit" in March. I have read the settlement and do not find any mention of "initial benefit." I believe the benefit that will be released (in November) is the benefit you are currently receiving.

She promised to pass it along to the right person. You may or may not know but my name is problematic, one of the reasons I object to this information release.

While my monthly benefit is not so large it is above average and is about 150% of my FAS. Do you think the coalition might be interested? I'm sure there are some PERS haters out there who will be if my benefit, name and FAS get published.<br />pegUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980916819424254337noreply@blogger.com
