MEMORANDUM TO THE CORP BOARD
RE: Richard Selapack, Correction of Error

Mr. Selapack served in a CORP designated position as a Correctional Industries Production Manager at Arizona Correctional Industries from 01/14/2006 through 08/08/2011. He retired from ASRS in 02/10/2006 and properly enrolled in the CORP (see attached), where he and the Department have continued to made both employer and employee contributions to the CORP.

During this period, ACI requested to reallocate the position he was in to a Regional Operations Managaer. The retirement code changed to ASRS; however, Mr. Selapack was not informed of the change when, on 08/08/2011, he received the attached employment letter from the Department placing him in the position. The job offer letter did not specify or inform him that the position was an ASRS position. Mr. Selapack was also not informed of the change by his supervisor or by the HR office at ACI. The personnel transaction was audited in Central Office HR; however, the auditor failed to pick up on the change in the retirement system and it was inaccurately processed, leaving the CORP designator in HRIS and, consequently, contributions to CORP continued. …show more content…
Selapack did not know of the requirement to request a waiver to stay in the CORP until he recently requested to retire from CORP. At that time, he was provided an estimate of his CORP retirement benefits, which included his five-years of service as a Regional Operations Manager. At that time, it was discovered that a waiver should have been requested when he took the position. Had he known of the requirement to get a waiver, he undoubtedly would have requested it because he was an ASRS retiree and his desire was to eventually retire from CORP. Through no fault of his own, he did not know of the requirement to request a waiver within the 90 day
