As part of our regular account update process, the Kern County Employees' Retirement Association (KCERA) is reaching out to Members to confirm and update their contact details. We are committed to ensuring that Members retirement benefits are delivered securely and accurately. This routine check is also a proactive measure to help prevent any potential fraud, ensuring that all benefit payments reach the correct recipient without unauthorized interference. Members' assistance in confirming their current information helps us maintain the highest standards of security and financial integrity for your retirement plan.

Both the frequency and the determination of which recipients to include in the verification will be made based on three factors:

• Age
• Years Receiving Benefit Payments
• Primary Residence
