Provider Training
To assist in fulfilling this requirement, NDPERS staff will conduct training sessions two times per year. One round of training sessions will be conducted in the spring of each year and another round will be conducted in the fall. In addition to satisfying contractual requirements, participants receive 2 continuing education credits.
NDPERS will be offering two rounds of Deferred Compensation Provider Training Sessions in 2009. The dates are June 16th and 17th for provider representatives in their first year working with the NDPERS 457 program and June 23rd and 24th for provider representatives who have previously attended a NDPERS training session, but not one this year. Dates in the fall are October 20th and 21st for first year provider representatives who have not attended a previous training and October 27th and 28th for provider representatives who have attended previous sessions but not one this year. In addition to satisfying the contractual requirement, it is beneficial for you to participate in a training session for at least two more reasons. First, it allows you to stay abreast of administrative changes in the program and second, we continue to anticipate expanding interest and participation in the NDPERS deferred compensation program as members grow to understand the benefits of supplemental retirement planning and advantages of participation in the Portability Enhancement Provision (PEP). It is to your benefit to be up to date on the procedures and regulations of the NDPERS deferred compensation program and to understand the PEP program thoroughly.
