The Department of Retirement Systems’ (DRS) new rules help clarify an employer's responsibility to:

  • Distribute information to employees;
  • Comply with the department's administrative instructions, requirements, requests, or deadlines; and
  • Accept and carry out all other duties as requested by DRS as required by RCW 41.50.140(1).
