A column has been added to the end of the manual form to allow for reporting this amount for both your Tier One and Tier Two members. The same is true for those employers who report by diskette or magnetic tape. The LSVP data should simply be added as a final field. A copy of the revised format layout for both diskette and magnetic tape is enclosed. PERS will reject any annual report which have left the LSVP field blank.
Trouble shooting The most common problem encountered is typographical errors.
This occurs mostly on diskettes. Another common error, which occurs often on diskettes and occasionally on tapes, is an incorrect format of the data, and sometimes of the tape or diskette. We've included separate sheets on formatting tapes and diskettes with this Employer Brief. We will update these formats in future Employer Briefs if changes occur. A third common error is an incorrect effective date , which can cause the data to be rejected.
