Employer Portal: Missing Non-Contributing (Non-Con) Member Forms

Frequently Asked Questions About the New Portal Feature

The Missing Non-Contributing (Non-Con) tool in the NPERS Employer Portal allows employers to view and report employees who are missing Non-Con data for a given period. Your employee list reflects employees who have not had contributions for a 12-month period AFTER the initialization of the electronic Non-Con portal for your plan. Missing Non-Cons prior to the go live date of the electronic non-con portal for your plan, are not yet a feature of the missing non-con lists.

LB645 Notification - School Plan Employee and Employer Contribution Rate Changes

Contribution rates will change on July 1, 2025, for employees, employers, and the State. LB645 states the contribution rates shall be calculated as of July 1 each year and will be based on the actuarial value of assets in the Plan as of the most recent actuarial valuation report presented to the Public Employees Retirement Board ("the Board"). Generally, the Board receives the Plan actuarial valuation report each November. The funded status in the report will determine the contribution rate to be implemented July 1 of the next year.
