Memo: NSEA Supports Senate Bill 224

NSEA appreciates this effort to protect the personal information of members of NV PERS. We know that many of our retired members are potential targets of identity theft, fraud, or some form of financial abuse. PERS members who have dedicated their working years to public service should have the type of retirement security to live the remainder of their lives with dignity and free from worry about intrusions into their personal life.

NSEA supports transparency and believes an accountable PERS system best services its members, public employees, and taxpayers. Protecting PERS recipients’ information in no way jeopardizes PERS’s accountability to the members who support and pay into the system and to whom PERS has kept its promise of a fair retirement system for decades.
