Right To Know

The State Employees' Retirement System strongly supports our members' and Pennsylvania citizens' right-to-know, in detail, how their government conducts business on their behalf.

When we receive a request for information related to SERS activities, we make every effort to determine if the requested record is public and if we have possession, custody, or control of it. We respond as promptly as possible based on the circumstances of the request and the requirements of the law.

Already Public Information

A wealth of up-to-date SERS-specific information is already available in our annual valuations, supplemental budget information, comprehensive annual financial reports, and proxy voting database.

Some SERS information is also available along with overall commonwealth spending, revenue, and employee data at PennWatch. A host of state contracting information - including SERS - is available online through the Department of Treasury's e-Library and the Department of General Services' e-Marketplace.

We accept right-to-know requests for SERS-related information via mail, fax, e-mail and hand delivery between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any regular business day. Requests should be directed to:
