Classified Employees

Classified employees are required to participate in the Arizona State Retirement Program (ASRS) for retirement and long term disability.

Setting up Your ASRS Account

You will need to set up an account with ASRS to designate a beneficiary and so that your contributions can be credited correctly with the state.  After your account has been set up, you will receive a confirmation email within a few weeks from ASRS verifying that your account is active.
