Regarding Outside Advisors:
Every so often URS hears of stories from members about meeting with a URS representative who sold them a product (annuity, insurance, death benefit, etc.). URS wants to get the word out that our Advisors do not contact members to schedule meetings about their retirement benefits and URS does not sell products. If you have employees that are looking to learn more about their URS retirement benefits, URS would love to meet with them. These sessions are scheduled online through the www.urs.org website.
